On display from March through July 2006, a sweeping exhibit entitled ‘Continuities of the Incomplete’ was displayed at the acclaimed Centre Pompidou in Paris, France.
The exhibition includes designs by mosphosis architects and features Zahner metal Zahner-manufactured aluminum/glass floor and custom guardrail system. Zahner was brought into the project to produce the complex metal system which encases the glass floor as an exportable aluminum and glass system.
The design’s inclining floor encases a series of models, videos, and the entire thought-process of the architects at Morphosis and it’s founder, Thom Mayne. The structural raised floor begins at ground level and gradually raises to two feet. The structure was engineered to withstand the hundreds of people who would traffic the show.

As Principal-in-Charge at DMP, Ms. Radhi Majmudar and her team were responsible for the structural engineering design and engineering of a glass floor vitrine for the exhibition of models and drawings below a raised glass floor. The design's inclining floor encases a series of models, videos, and the entire thought-process of the architects at Morphosis and its founder, Thom Mayne. The structural raised floor begins at ground level and gradually raises to two feet. The design features the complex metal system which encases the glass floor as an exportable aluminum and glass system. The structure was engineered to withstand the hundreds of people who would traffic the show. The structural engineering design team collaborated with designers and fabricators during design, tendering, and installation
