Description
No. 652 of a+u showcases 25 projects by Renzo Piano Building Workshop from 2010–2025, revealing how RPBW’s Genoa and Paris offices adapt to diverse urban contexts. Whether working in historic cities like London and Istanbul or creating new landmarks, RPBW emphasizes human experience through structural lightness and environmental integration. The solarpunk spirit that has distinguished RPBW over the years comes through in humanist projects like Uganda’s Children’s Surgical Hospital, combining rammed-earth construction with solar technology. Monumental institutions such as the cliff-like Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in Athens demonstrate an analytical approach to site-specific challenges.
