Wow very strong opinions here lol. I’m actually glad they preserved that beautiful ceiling. I know a lot of you will complain that this building should be rented by someone else but to be honest Monsieur Pinault is probably one of the few wealthy people in the world who can afford to rent and maintain said building to display his collection. I personally would have chosen glass or a see through material so that the architectural details of the doors and lower half of the building program could be also seen and appreciated. At the same time, I understand and appreciate Tadao Ando’s concept of time and infinity as a circular relationship and in a way this modern, concrete circle helps to bring the building into modern times by transcending the past. I appreciate Monsieur Pinault’s unique and unconventional taste in his collection and I would love to see how his curators interprets and displays the works throughout this incredible building.
Tadao. Genius move. Made a monumental building more so, with just a touch. Must feel amazing to stand in the centre and watch the light touch the concrete
Modern architecture, like modern art, is protected from real criticism not only by the establishment, but everybody who has made a decision to become a part of that world, if not in any other form, as a hobbyist. If you want to get the feeling of belonging to that world, or write about it as a journalist, indeed you have to teach yourself to see some cloths on the naked emperor (or just fake it). There's obviously quite a lot good modern art, but in my opinion not much modern architecture worth looking at (including the modern parts of this museum).
Once it's possible to travel again, I would love to visit this - not just for the artworks but for Tadao Ando's modifications as well. I'm a big fan of his works and it would be interesting to see how it feels in real life rather than in a video.
Money can´t buy taste. Ugly is beautiful, beautiful is ugly, the inversion of everything what is normal. It´s an abomination for the beautiful antique building.
Sad people want to see old stuff remain looking old. This is why old buildings are always being destroyed because changing them is harder and probably more expensive then building a new one. Old art and architecture is awesome, but not awesome enough that we should always copy it and keep making it hundreds of years later. People get mad that movies are all sequels and the same, that the pop music is all the same and then when artists gives us new art we don’t like it because it is not like the old stuff. Please always complaining that it’s always the same or mad that it’s not the same. I’m glad this building was changed, it will play a new role in showing new art. That instead of being pushed aside, demolished, turned into a store, offices or condos, it was refurbished for a new role. If you do not like contemporary art and feel the old stuff is way better, and are mad they did not keep the old building the same, know that it’s okay just means you are probably smarter than everyone else.
You seem to equal different with good, which doesn't make sense. Different can be good or bad. Your comment is also an excellent example of a "horseman" (an argument containing a certain type of fallacy; there's a good explanation of it on the English Wikipedia, if you don't know what it means), as nobody has said that we should just copy old buildings (by implying so you are being either ignorant or dishonest). People have been constantly creating beautiful buildings all over the world for thousands of years, and most of them very different from each other. The last hundred years are the only period when people have deliberately created buildings that do not reflect what's best in the humanity. Until this period people created buildings that transpire humanity, dignity and sense of beauty, buildings that uplift people. The dreariness of the contemporary built environment and growing mental ill-being of people can’t be a coincidence.
@@dweuromaxxThe concrete was however seldom exposed. The Romans didn't like bare concrete but in the construction of walls hide it between two layers of brick. In vaults the concrete was exposed but almost always painted.
@@christianeduardo1 Oh yes ofcourse. Im not saying they should use expensive ancient construction techniques or the museum should reflect the ancient times.
@@dweuromaxx Yes, they had concrete, but it was made from all natural materials (they still don´t know to imitate it nowadays). Above all they had taste, which nowadays is lost also. It´s like humanity degenerated in a very bad way.
@@alexandrez9629 Okay, I did not know that. Thank you for the info. I am never to old to learn something new. I mistook it for the glass dome of the Reichtag building in Berlin, Germany. That dome was added later.
Thankfully, the historic building has been restored, and, more importantly, that modern carbuncle can be removed when sense returns. I am not anti-modern art, some has worth, but too much needs to be consigned to a skip.
Very sad for that historical building, it originates from an epoque where there was true culture, and wealthy people still had taste. The people of that epoque would be horrified. Today everything is the inverse, ugly is beautiful, bad is good etc. a mockery of the values. A kind of psychological social engineering.

The Bourse du Commerce is the property of the City of Paris since 2017, François Pinault only rent the place
@@yaelpignol7258 thanks for the update. Edited my comment

Are you blind? It's boring, ugly ans cheap looking.
Grand. Definitely want to visit.
I'm happy this didn't destroy completely the original building, someday we can return to its original glory.
The bourse du commerce was not the stock exchange but the commodities exchange
@Buffet Power Thanks, you're totally right. We'll correct it in the description.
‚The concrete cylinder stands for hope‘ - IMPRISONMENTsounds more like it

Ah yes, there are only two options: entirely destroying the building or completely denaturing it. Never heard about conservation?

150 million euros for a concrete cylinder inside the existing rotunda .I think that the billionaire has been taken.
The massive amount of naked concrete in that delicate historical building hurts my eyes.
@Vanessa S Did you know that the Romans already built with concrete? They called it "Opus Caementicium".
@@dweuromaxxThe concrete was however seldom exposed. The Romans didn't like bare concrete but in the construction of walls hide it between two layers of brick.

Too bad that the black dome does not match the rest of that museum. But well, modern architecture. And modern art.....oh dear.
Actually it is the original dome.

A casual look at Pinault's art collection is enough to understand why Tado's intervention look like it's been done by paramilitary squatters.
wow the art collection is so mediocre I just gave up on life seeing that.
Exactly..saw the Venice Collection. Amateurish in my opinion.
Le truc en béton...une horreur !

Tadao Ando, the Bouroullec brothers... Pinault chose the most boring designers and architects out there.
