Piano, Virtuoso. Повний доробок італійського майстра

Ренцо П'яно здобув міжнародну популярність завдяки співпроектуванню Центру Помпіду в Парижі, який газета The New York Times описала як будівлю, що «перевернула світ архітектури з ніг на голову». Відтоді він продовжує створювати такі культові культурні простори, як Сучасне крило Чиказького інституту мистецтв і, нещодавно, Музей американського мистецтва Вітні, асиметричну дев'ятиповерхову споруду в районі Мітпекінг на Мангеттені з критими та відкритими галереями. У Лондоні дотик Piano також змінив горизонт міста завдяки Shard.

У віці 84 років італійський маестро зберігає весь свій ентузіазм і доброту, а його нещодавній список робіт вражає більше, ніж будь-коли. Як він зізнався автору: «Я думаю, що в певному віці можна відкрити для себе те, що французи називають «fil rouge» (червона нитка), своєрідна червона нитка, яка з часом пов'язує одну будівлю з іншою. У моєму випадку, я вважаю, що справа в легкості та мистецтві будівництва». Від нещодавно збудованих музеїв в Афінах та Сантандері; поточних робіт у Лісабоні, Лондоні, Торонто та Женеві; до таких гуманітарних проектів, як Дитяча хірургічна лікарня швидкої допомоги в Ентеббе, Уганда, та Дитячий хоспіс у Болоньї, Італія, кар'єра П'яно — це захоплива подорож красою та самою суттю архітектури.

Засноване на величезній монографії XXL, це широко оновлене видання представляє остаточний огляд кар'єри архітектора у доступному форматі та ілюструється фотографіями, ескізами та планами.

A complete overview of one of the most ambitious urban projects by Italian architect Renzo Piano; a unique volume for all who are interested in architecture and urban landscape.

This volume is a close analysis of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, the revolutionary $600 million project designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano and donated by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation to the city of Athens for the construction of the National Library, Opera House, and a public park set in grounds covering 170,000 square meters. A truly urban design dedicated to the citizens of Athens that marks the recovery and revitalization of a derelict site on the edge of the inner city. A downloadable app for Apple and Android provides access to additional multimedia content, including virtual tours, drone videos, and photo galleries.

About the Author:

Federico Bucci is professor of History of Architecture at the Milan Polytechnic. He has been a member of the American Society of Architectural Historians and has curated several exhibitions on Italian architecture and published numerous books. Lorenzo Ciccarelli graduated in 2011 with a degree in Building Engineering and Architecture and since 2013 he has worked with the Renzo Piano Foundation.

A 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.

About the Authors:

Federico Bucci is Full Professor of History of Architecture at the Polytechnic of Milan, where he is also Delegate of the Rector for Cultural Policies, Rector of the Mantua Pole, and head of the UNESCO Chair. Carol Willis is the founder, director, and curator of the Skyscraper Museum. She is also adjunct associate professor of Urban Studies at Columbia University.

While some architects have a signature style, Renzo Piano seeks to apply coherent ideas to extraordinarily different projects. His buildings impress as much for their individual impact as for their diversity of scale, material, and form. Piano rose to international prominence with his codesign of the Pompidou Center in Paris, described by The New York Times as a building that "turned the architecture world upside down." Since then, he has continued to craft many high-profile cultural spaces, including the Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago; the Morgan Library Renovation and Expansion in New York; and, most recently, the Whitney Museum of American Art, an asymmetric nine-story structure in Manhattan's Meatpacking District with both indoor and outdoor galleries. 

In New York and London, the Renzo touch has also transformed the skyline with the towers of the New York Times Building and the Shard, the tallest building in the European Union. This essential introduction travels from Osaka, Japan, to Bern, Switzerland, and through many cities, structures, and islands in between, to explore the staggering scope of the Renzo Piano repertoire. 

From the "inside-out" Pompidou to the airy shells of the Tjibaou Cultural Center in Noumea, New Caledonia, this is a thrilling journey through the beauty of architecture, where, in Piano's own words, "each time, it is like life starting all over again."

The mechanics of lightness

The wide-ranging career of the Italian virtuoso

"The array of buildings by Renzo Piano is staggering in scope and comprehensive in the diversity of scale, material, and form. He is truly an architect whose sensibilities represent the widest range of this and earlier centuries." Such was the description of Renzo Piano given by the Pritzker Prize jury citation as they bestowed the prestigious award on him in 1998. Whereas some architects have a signature style, what sets Piano apart is that he seeks simply to apply a coherent set of ideas to new projects in extraordinarily different ways. "One of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life starting all over again," Piano says. "Like a movie director doing a love story, a Western, or a murder mystery, a new world confronts an architect with each project." This explains why it takes more than a superficial glance to recognize Piano’s fingerprints on such varied projects as the Pompidou Center in Paris, the Kansai Airport in Osaka, Japan, the Tjibaou Cultural Center in Nouméa, New Caledonia, the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, Switzerland, The New York Times Building in New York, and his most recent structure, the London Bridge Tower, which will be upon completion the tallest building in Western Europe.

About the Series:

This explains why it takes more than a superficial glance to recognize Piano's fingerprints on such varied projects as the Pompidou Center in Paris (1971-77), the Kansai airport in Osaka, Japan (1990-94), and the Tjibaou Cultural Center in Nouméa, New Caledonia (1993-98). This stunning monograph, illustrated by photographs, sketches, and plans, covers Piano's career to date.

The updated publication includes new photographs of projects completed since the previous edition, such as his The New York Times Building in New York, the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, Switzerland, The Morgan Library in New York, as well as some sneak peeks at his current projects, including the 66-story London Bridge Tower, which is set to be Europe's tallest building.

Ein spektakulärer Überblick über die schönsten Museumsbauten des Pritzker-Preisträgers.

Pritzker-Preisträger Renzo Piano gilt als der führende Architekt für Museumsbauten, herausragende Kunstinstutionen weltweit haben ihm ihre Sammlungen anvertraut. 18 seiner Museumsentwürfe aus den letzten 35 Jahren stellt der großformatige Band anhand von atmosphärisch dichten Fotos und präzisen Architekturzeichnungen und Grundrissen vor.

Der Bogen spannt sich vom damals revolutionären Centre Pompidou (1977), bis hin zu noch nicht fertig gestellten Projekten, etwa dem Los Angeles County Museum of Art, dem Art Institute of Chicago (Eröffnung 2009) oder dem geplanten Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst in Sarajevo. Meilensteine der Museumsarchitektur werden ausführlich präsentiert: die Menil Collection in Houston, die Fondation Beyeler in Riehen bei Basel, das Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, das Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas und die Erweiterung der Pierpoint Morgan Library in New York. Eine Einführung von Victoria Newhouse diskutiert zentrale Elemente von Pianos Ästhetik – natürliches Licht, Transparenz und die Piazza als öffentlicher Treffpunkt.

 

As Peter Buchanan has shown in the first three volumes of Renzo Piano’s complete works, he follows no fashions of form or theory, nor is he limited to a personal idiom. Instead he concerns himself with the specifics and potential of a particular situation and moment, meeting the challenges of the programme, pushing the limits of technology, but always responding sensitively to the topography or urban fabric of the building’s site. This fourth volume on Renzo Piano provides an illuminating study of the architect’s working method, in particular his regard for context, followed by a presentation of his projects from 1989 to 2000. These range from urban works such as the Potsdamer Platz masterplan in Berlin, a science museum in Amsterdam and high-rise towers in Rotterdam and Sydney, to the acclaimed Beyeler Foundation and the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in New Caledonia, which exemplifies the architect’s sensitivity to site and local tradition, combining traditional materials and techniques with those from the cutting edge of technology.
