18.1.2023 Inside Renzo Piano Building Workshop @Rai5

Inside Renzo Piano Building Workshop on Rai5

On air for the first time on TV on Wednesday 18 January 2023, the documentary on the figure and work of one of the world's most important architects.

9.15 pm, Art Night on Rai5, the art programme presented by Neri Marcorè.

The documentary showcases the RPBW method: what goes on in the studios in Punta Nave in Genoa and Paris, on the building sites - in Europe, Asia, America - in the studio's internal working meetings, in talks with consultants and clients.

"Creativity is a miracle that only exists when you know how to share it. Our studio is a special place where this miracle happens every day" (Renzo Piano).

Five projects were chosen and followed for 18 months in different stages of conception and realisation: the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, California, opening in 2021, a construction site with a high representational content (the factory of the imagination); CERN's Science Gateway in Geneva, Switzerland, still under construction, a construction site with a high community content (the factory of science); the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris-Saclay, to be completed in 2020, a research site in a large park with a high educational content (the knowledge factory); the SNF Thessaloniki Children's Hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece, a sustainable construction site with a high humanitarian content (the health factory); the Marunouchi Tokio Marine in Tokyo, a technological construction site in the centre of the city with a high symbolic content (the work factory).

Five different places, three continents, five social and environmental contexts that have little in common except the RPBW method.
