Here are a number of recent architectural projects designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop and published in Floornature.
Architect Renzo Piano, life-long senator of the Republic of Italy and Pritzker Prize winner for architecture in 1998, has just turned eighty. An opportunity to rediscover some of the recent projects by RPBW, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, founded in 1981, in the pages of Floornature.
Starting with a not-so-recent work of essential importance in Renzo Piano’s career, the Beaubourg or Pompidou Centre in Paris, which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. Continuing with London Bridge Tower or The Shard, the skyscraper designed by Renzo Piano (in partnership with Adamson Associates Architects of Toronto) of London, a project that has made its mark on the city skyline.
The most recent projects by RPBW published in Floornature include a long list of museums and cultural facilities. These are both construction projects and expansions and renewals of existing buildings such as: the Lenfest Center for the Arts and the Jerome L. Greene Science Center for the Manhattanville campus of Columbia University; the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, Harvard Art Museums in Cambridge; the pavilion expanding the Kimbell Art Museum built by Louis Khan in Fort Worth, Texas; Muse Science Museum in Trento; the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre in Kallithea (Athens); the new Château La Coste pavilion in Provence.
We conclude our list with a project now under construction: the Children’s Surgery Centre built for the Italian NGO Emergency in Uganda.
