I'm afraid I'm with Bill Bryson on this one. I like some of greater Paris's architectural oddities--that office building in La Défense with the hole in it, for instance--but the Pompidou is just ugly and bad. I mean, it's not Le Corbusier/Soviet Brutalist-style ugly and bad, it is at least weird, but it's still ugly and bad.
