Piece by Piece. Exhibiting architecture is a difficult task. Nothing can really replace direct experience of the built space, the perception of the hybrid fabric of the city, and listening to the voices that life continuously produces.

The main concern of our work as architects is the city itself. Cities are one of mankind’s brilliant inventions. They are civilised, an exercise in tolerance, where differences cohabit. Cities are dense constructions, shared places of close contact, of a healthy sort of contamination. Perhaps, as designers, our most important task is as Italo Calv...
Urban Regeneration Workshop Otranto, Italy The Laboratorio di Quartiere, or District Workshop, was a UNESCO-supported project aimed at the reno-vation of historic town centres through a mecha-nism to safeguard their physical aspect: a permanent worksite. The project in Otranto was used to test the feasibility of using local artisans to restore an a...
Genoa, Italy A vast exhibition project that became an urban re-newal plan. The 1992 Columbus Celebrations presented itself as great opportunity to reconnect the long broken ties between the historical centre of Genoa and its old har-bour, the Porto Antico. The regeneration project for Piazza Caricamento and the docks comprised a series of plans to ...
Trento, Italy The Quartiere delle Albere district, the site of a for-mer Michelin factory, is now a new part of the city of Trento. This transformed post-industrial brownfield site now shares many characteristics with Trento’s urban fabric – the clear hierarchy of the design, its functional stratification and an overall similarity in the size of bu...
At the beginning there’s the pleasure of building, an interest in concrete things. The passion and the sheer fun of constructing small or large buil-dings, piece by piece. The invention of prototypes, the trying out of new materials, learning about their potential and their limitations. When it comes down to it, transforming materials is the first...
Bern, Switzerland The complex nature of the shapes and articulations of the body of work of German-Swiss artist Paul Klee is reflected in the architecture of the Zentrum. The mu-seum is part and parcel of the rolling hills and blends in with the natural landscape of the countryside out-side of Bern. Its curved roof made of long steel beams by one, ...
Genoa, Italy The concept of ‘lightness’ fits very comfortably with designing a wind turbine. Renzo Piano Building Workshop is working with Enel Green Power to build a new type of wind-powered generator - a line in the sky, with two transparent blades reminiscent of the wings of a dragonfly. By considering the development and the current status of w...
Simply stated, architecture can be defined as a service, an art that produces objects that serve a function. An architect’s task is to hold on to the identi-ties of places and objects, and be honest about their functions: we must never forget what the building we are constructing is actually meant to do. But architecture is also the art of underst...
Parma, Italy When building onto an existing structure in an urban context, one has to have a good grasp of the city’s dis-tinct fabric - potential connections between the exis-ting building and the new vision for it need to be tho-roughly understood. The old Eridiana sugar factory was an empty brick structure of just the right size and volume to b...
S. Giovanni Rotondo (Foggia), Italy The church dedicated to Padre Pio is a sacred building with ample open space for the public, yet its design is deliberately non-monumental and welcoming. The project was based on two fundamental principles: the use of a single type of stone that would be in harmony with its surroundings, and the idea of a church ...
Art and culture are both powerful forces in our society. They penetrate and affect our consciousness, they spark the imagination of those who come into contact with them. The idea that art can change the world, one person at a time, is a powerful one. Yet we should never forget that culture, and even more so beauty, are fragile concepts which can v...
Nouméa, New Caledonia Erected in honour of the New Caledonian political leader assassinated in 1989, the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre pays homage to Kanak culture and draws on local building traditions and expertise by intertwining the ancient and the modern. An understanding of the development of Kanak culture was a vital part of this pro-je...
