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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Phaidon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780714842875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.42h x 9.90w x 1.05d","brand":"Peter Buchanan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52507514011829,"sku":"9780714842875","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_fd901f4a-ec6d-49a3-ae7e-89904273bdd5.jpg?v=1778565503","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/renzo-piano-building-workshop-complete-works-9780714842875","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
