Quand Jean Prouvé, président du jury du concours d'idée international, proclame, le 15 juillet 1971, le nom des lauréats du Centre Beaubourg, il en sait aussi peu sur eux que ce que nous avons oublié depuis leurs incroyables carrières.

Que ce serait-il passé si Rogers n'avait pas mis fin au Team 4 (1963-1967) formé avec Norman Foster (1935-, Pritzker 1999) ?

Si le bureau d'ingénieurs Ove Arup ne leur avait indiqué fin 1970 l'existence de la compétition ?
