Renzo Piano is an Italian architect born in 1937 in Genoa. In 1971, he won a competition to design the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris with Richard Rogers, which turned the typical museum design inside out with its exposed colored pipes and ducts. One of Piano's notable designs is the Paul Klee Center in Bern, Switzerland, which takes the form of three grass-covered hills of different sizes that house the museum's functions. Piano's style is defined by solid construction using excellent materials and designs that integrate with nature.

ARCHITECT: RENZO PIANO

3. "Architecture is an artistic
craft, but at the same time
it is also a scientific
profession, it is precisely its
distinctiveness"
"When style gets to become
a brand, a personal seal,
this becomes a cage"
"The architect is first and
foremost a builder, but also
should be a poet, and
above all a humanist''

5. His architecture is defined as
solid construction made by
excellent materials .
Take advantage of the
topography to the relationship
between the internal spaces and
also to the outside.
Renzo Piano designed a building
capable of integrating with nature,
in tribute to one of the most
prolific and profound artists of
modern times.
His Style -

6. The different project shows how Renzo play with different shapes. He
clearly implements that there are 360 degrees, then why just stick to
only one.

8. CENTRE POMPIDOU (POMPIDOU CENTER)
PARIS,FRANCE.

9. In 1970 an international
architectural competition was
launched based on a program to
build a cultural and arts complex in
the centre of historic Paris set out by
French President Georges
Pompidou.
To maximize internal space, they
turned the construction inside-out
and exposed a skeleton of brightly
colored tubes for mechanical
systems. The ducts on the outside of
the building are color-coded: blue
for air, green for fluids, yellow for
electricity cables and red for
movement and flow (elevators,
stairs) and safety (fire extinguishers).
DESIGN & CONCEPT
INTERIOR VIEW

10. • The center Pompidou broke
the mold with its 'inside
out' construction: the steel
skeleton from which the
floors are suspended
dominantly visible from the
outside, together with the
giant external escalators,
with the color-coded service
ducts exposed on both the
inside and out.
• Now that the fact of these
appearances is no longer
shocking, attention focus on
howthey are done.
• Twenty years, on the escalator remains
a phenomenon, and the plaza continues
to thrive, but the exhibition spaces
themselves, and the rather dry, regular
block shape of the overall building, are
beginning to come across as almost a
little dull.

15. PAUL KLEE CENTER

16. The guiding idea was to
create something more than
a museum.
Renzo Piano was the lightness of the
artist's sense of belonging and light.
It was therefore decided to create a
place, raise the land, making land
available fora work of art itself. As if
it were more of a survey done by a
knowledgeable farmer, rather than
the result of an architectural
methodology.
So he designed three hills. Three
waves that rise and from the ground.
With different dimensions, the three
waves traverse the ground like a
sculpture or the result of the same
concept

19. Each has a different function
undulations therein.
The first and larger, a 400-
seat auditorium, and art
workshops forchildren.
In the second wave, the
middle, smaller than the first,
is the permanent collection of
Paul Klee, and temporary
exhibition spaces dedicated to
In the third one, the least of
all, lies the research and
management.
SPACE -

20. The design of the Paul Klee is
characterized by the structure of
corrugated steel deck. These beams
have the complex curves neither is
equal to the other, since the wave
form extends from the front to the
back where it is lost together with
the ground, and each "wave" has
different height.
Each of the curved steel beams
with different weights, has been
constructed individually.
After reviewing alternative materials
such as aluminum, copper and
titanium, it was decided to use a
hardened cover. The ecological
criteria, economic and technical
were decisive for this choice.
