The Pompidou "masterpiece" is separate and is not intruding on any classical beauty.Yes, of course I saw the piramide, both in person and on the pictures, and no, it is still not growing on me, and I suspect never will.
But then, I have never been a fan of raping the classics. To me Mona Lisa still looks better with no moustache. I love the old architecture too much to see any reason to "improve" it.
To be modern and to be stupid are not the same things.
