Before introducing briefly who Richard Rogers is, let us take a look one of his masterpieces:

And....this is another building, definitely familiar to you guys.
Centre Pompidou in Paris (巴黎龐畢度中心)

Would you feel this two building have the same style of exposing their services such as water, heat pipe and stairs?
Exactly, they are all designed by Richard Rogers.

If you live in Taiwan, especially in the second biggest city, Kaohsiung,
you would hear this name year by year due to KRTC's (Kaohsiung MRT, Underground) hitting market.
R9 Station is also his work.

If someone lives in the city, please be free to make more comments, I would appreciate that.
