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, and yet always responding sensitively to the topography or urban fabric of the building's site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fourth volume provides an illuminating study of Piano's working method, with particular focus on his regard for context, followed by a detailed 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTechnical drawings and descriptive analysis explain innovative solutions to structural problems. A strong sense is given of Piano's acute sensitivity to site and local tradition, combining traditional materials and techniques with those from the cutting edge of technology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44892003205349,"sku":"NP9780714842875","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9e566f76-ab38-49ea-8169-adbc0181df3e.jpg?v=1767867657","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/renzo-piano-building-workshop-isbn-9780714842875","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
