France: Bordeaux's 'Guggenheim' unveiled
May 18, 2011 6
Bordeaux’s answer to Bilbao’s Guggenheim was revealed this week – drawing comparisons to a decanter, wine swirling in a glass and a ‘giant thumb’. The futuristic Wine Centre, plans for which were unveiled in Bordeaux on Monday, will be designed by Parisian architects X-Tu, with London company Casson Mann working on the interior.
The two companies, selected from among 113 candidates, will start building in early 2013, with a completion date set for 2014.
