Renzo piano

Renzo piano (1September 1937 14-) is a famous Italian architect. 1998 Winner of the 20th Pritzker Prize. Because of his contribution to the protection of the ancient city of Genoa, he was also elected as a goodwill ambassador of UNESCO.

He was born in Genoa and still lives and works in this ancient city. He was educated at Milan Polytechnic University and later taught. 1965-1970, he worked for Louis Kahn and Macovschi. 197 1-1977 He had a love affair with richard rodgers, during which the most famous work was Pompidou Art Center (1977).

Piano's works range from museums and churches to hotels, office buildings, houses, theaters, concert halls, airports and bridges. In his works, the collision of various technologies, materials and ways of thinking has been widely reflected. These active and scattered ways of thinking are the gifts that the truly insightful master and his team will give to all mankind. This is the same ideal of the masters in this century and even in previous centuries. He attaches great importance to the use of materials and has a special sensitivity to materials. He paid more attention to the further exploration of material properties by technology, and all the materials he used were fully utilized. This sensitivity can be said to come from the profound family learning and tradition of the craftsman family, from nature and diligence. He didn't inherit his parents' family business, but devoted himself to the architectural design he loved. But in a sense, his career has realized the dream that his family has been unable to realize for a long time.

Piano attaches great importance to the cultivation of various skills, not only freehand drawing skills, but also computer operation skills, and more importantly, attaches importance to the actual modeling ability. The model workshop in his studio reflects his practice of attaching importance to hands-on ability and spatial thinking ability.

Piano, who has been in business for more than 30 years, has been working tirelessly, constantly innovating and exploring, devoted himself wholeheartedly to his own architectural design, and gradually matured in the process of inheriting and breaking the tradition. In his architectural practice, invention, innovation and breakthrough have always been his magic weapon to explore the "dimension" of space. In the design of Meni Museum, he reduced the beauty of architecture to the ideal of functional design in a concise form and aesthetic proportion, and invented a solar lighting device that can make sunlight stay forever, and introduced intangible components such as sunlight into the building and became an integral part of the building. During the construction of Pompidou Center, he designed a brand-new steel cable structural member. After this part was declared impossible by all French steel companies, he still firmly believed in his design, and finally found Krupp Company in Germany, which successfully demonstrated his design ideas. "Dare to break the routine and put it into practice firmly, and you will find that your design is not restricted and has reached the realm of free self." This is piano's experience, and it is also the ladder for him to become brilliant. The model of "humanistic city" is a design ideal he has been brewing for many years, which is fully reflected in his planning projects such as Lyon International City, Potsdam Square in Berlin, and the renovation of Genoa's old port. New buildings and old buildings, new landscape and old city landscape, architecture, environment and people have formed a good complementary and interdependent relationship. ...

In his beloved hometown of Genoa, his childhood and dreams are the starting point and source of his ideals. His studio is on the platform of Ponty Neuer, and he came up by Genoa's special elevator. The semi-rock and semi-boat-shaped building, with a butterfly-like roof between the sea and the rock, is a quiet harbor for his soul. His studio in the Marais district of Paris allows him to experience an active social life and feel the pulse of social progress. This is piano's design life, a patient game between liveliness and quietness, between preciseness and freehand brushwork, and at the intersection of reason and emotion.
