The celebrated architect, who partnered Richard Rogers on Paris’s Pompidou Centre, will work with Californian native Zoltan Pali.

Museum chief Dawn Hudson called the collaboration “a perfect marriage”.

The proposed museum, which explores the art of film-making and how movies have evolved, is set to open in 2016.

Renzo‘s track record of creating iconic cultural landmarks, combined with Zoltan’s success in transforming historically significant buildings is a perfect marriage for a museum that celebrates the history and the future of the movies,” said Ms Hudson.
