Rizzoli

The Italian master explains why he always insists on exhaustive research and discusses ecological issues such as roof energy accumulation capacity. His knowledge of the structural strengths of various natural fibres and thermal insulation goes hand in hand with his scheme of avoiding non-renewable energy sources. 
Intelligent buildings, methods of recycling, understanding of topography all fit into the overall architectural design. The most advanced building systems are also inexpensive in forming ecological spaces.

This is the fifth volume of a series of monographs dedicated to iconic buildings designed by Renzo Piano. London Bridge Tower, also know as the Shard, was completed in July 2012, though it opened to the public in 2013. With its 306 meter height, the Shard is Europe's tallest building. Conceived and implemented as a vertical town, the tower is a shimmering, lively presence in London's skyline. This volumne is an account of the story of this astonishing project, from its first design hypothesis and inception, to the amazing duilding site and the final grand opening. The volume presents a wide and exclusive choice of Renzo Piano's sketches, prospects, plans and sections of the building, working models, prototypes and photos from the site, along with direct accounts of those who took part in this extraordinary adventure. A text by Renzo Piano in first person tells the behind the scene story of a building that is already a landmark in the city of London.

Ronchamp: Ronchamp Gateway and Monastery

History & Criticism

Designed by Le Corbusier, the Chapel of Notre-Dame du Haut draws thousands of visitors each year. Renzo Piano's new project includes three main elements: the gatehouse, the monastery and the landscape.Deep in the lush vegetation, the monastery is a place "of silence, prayer, peace and joy", where everything contributes to spiritual contemplation.Most of the material used in this book has not been previously published, and has been made available through the constant and detailed work of cataloguing and classifying the Foundation's archives. The history of this project will be shown through Renzo Piano's personal notes and memories, starting with his first visit to the site to the opening on September 2011

Whitney: The Whitney Museum of Art

This is the eighth volume in the series of monographs devoted to the projects of the world renowned architect Renzo Piano.Using material taken from the Renzo Piano archives and using images that are largely previously unpublished it explores the creation of the new building in Athens that houses the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC), which will contain the National Library of Greece and the Greek National Opera.The building is set within the Stavros Niarchos park, and thus a new urban icon has arisen, that enables both Greek citizens and global visitors to experience art and education set within a green space.As with previous volumes in this series, the project is reconstructed from the architect's personal files and follows the creative route, from his first visit to the site to its eventual inauguration, using his sketches, ideas, models, photographs, drawings, plans and memoirs to tell the story of this remarkable building in a manner that will be of great interest to architects and students now and in the future
