    The Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre was designed by Renzo Piano as a center dedicated to the Kanak culture of New Caledonia. It is composed of 10 circular pavilions of varying sizes connected by a curved covered passageway. Inspired by traditional Kanak conical huts, the pavilions feature durable wooden and glass structures designed to withstand the region's cyclonic winds. The complex serves as an important symbol of cultural preservation and reconciliation between the Kanak people and France.
