DOWNLOAD EBOOKCreating space for the display of works of art has intrigued Renzo Piano throughout his thirty-five years of architectural practice. Today he is acknowledged the pre-eminent designer in this field, entrusted with the collections of the most distinguished art institutions in the world. Renzo Piano Museums presents a portfolio of eighteen museum projects, beginning with the revolutionary Pompidou Center in Paris and continuing to the most current designs for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sarajevo. Featured are the Menil Collection in Houston, the Beyeler Foundation on the outskirts of Basel, Switzerland, the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, and the Morgan Library and Museum in New York. Lush color photographs and handsome presentation drawings and plans convey the form and detail of these extraordinary buildings. Complementing the visual presentation is an essay by Victoria Newhouse, which surveys Piano's museum work and places it in a historical context. In particular, she focuses on the key elements of Piano's aesthetic: natural light, transparency, and the piazza or gathering space. All were introduced at the Pompidou Center and continue to inform the designs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRenzo Piano is one of the world’s greatest living architects and creator of a host of iconic modern buildings, including the Pompidou in Paris, the Menil Collection in Texas, Kansai Airport in Japan, the Shard in London and the new Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Written and created in collaboration with the Piano Foundation in Genoa, this richly illustrated volume covers the early work as well as the most recent designs, making a complete survey of his career to date. Starting with his beginnings with the Pompidou Centre in the 1970s (in collaboration with Richard Rogers) the story continues up to construction of one of his latest works, a spectacular new bridge in Genoa in 2020. The book explores all of the studio’s main projects: the public spaces and museums, airports, theatres, and libraries. As well as giving unique insights into the creative process of Piano himself, the book includes numerous unpublished designs and photographs. In the process the book reveals Piano’s unique way of handling light and space, as well as his particular attention to the social implications of the profession of architect and the relationship of buildings to their urban environment and landscape.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKStudying the history of a project through its drawings, models, the patron's profile, pictures of the construction site and the finished building, is a fundamental excursus, but it cannot replace the deeper understanding that materialises during a visit to the place. I reread Silvia's diary during my trip from Genoa to Athens, flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet, with the concentration necessary to grasp the nuances of her experience and retrace through the eyes of a young architect her visit to all the buildings designed by Renzo Piano and RPBW, which I too have studied over the years. I really appreciated her passionate story and trust that her wonderful adventure will spark the curiosity of any reader interested in architecture.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA sumptuous portrait comprising texts and images of the prestigious complex 565 Broome Soho in New York, designed by the Renzo Piano firm. This volume is dedicated to the 565 Broome Street skyscraper, the first residential building conceived by Renzo Piano and designed by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop in the city of New York. Developed by Bizzi & Partners, the double tower occupies a corner space in the SoHo district, close to the Hudson River. Rich and fascinating iconography and a text by Federico Bucci and Carol Willis describe the design, the main features of the building, and how it relates to the city and the light that surrounds it in a unique way. The photographic selection is divided into thematic chapters, starting from the representation of the building’s urban context and then illustrating the different parts of the project, the formal and structural characteristics of the towers, and the interiors. It also describes the contemporary artwork by Susumu Shingu that occupies the space between the towers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLo studio della storia di un progetto attraverso i suoi disegni, i modelli, il profilo del cliente, le immagini del cantiere e dell'edificio finito, è un percorso fondamentale, ma non può sostituire la comprensione più profonda che si materializza durante una visita sul luogo.0Ho riletto il diario di Silvia durante un mio viaggio tra Genova ed Atene, sospesa a 10.000 metri di quota, con la concentrazione necessaria per cogliere le sfumature della sua esperienza e ripercorrere attraverso gli occhi di un giovane architetto la visita a tutti gli edifici realizzati da Renzo Piano e RPBW, che anch'io negli anni ho conosciuto.0Ho veramente apprezzato il suo appassionato racconto e confido pertanto che la sua bella avventura accenda la curiosità di tutti i lettori interessati all'architettura.
