The structure is a historic 18th-century stock exchange building and it recently opened its doors for people to enjoy, following “a [major three-year transformation project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jean-bouissou-stadium-stand) commissioned by François Pinault—a French businessman and founder of luxury group Kering. The restoration and redesign of the Bourse de Commerce building was completed by Japanese architect [Tadao Ando](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naoshima-new-museum-of-art) who employed various innovative uses of material to deliver a striking and classic experience. One of the new additions is “a nine-meter-tall cylindrical concrete wall placed within its rotunda.” Part of François Pinault’s motivation for restoring and opening up the Bourse de Commerce building was a major collection of some 5,000 artworks that needed a space to be displayed and enjoyed.
