Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center
The Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano with the concept of celebrating the vernacular Kanak culture of New Caledonia. The centre is composed of 10 units, all of different sizes and different functions, but with the consistent form of vertically positioned shell-like structures which resemble the traditional huts of a Caledonian Village.
