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\n\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\n\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\n","brand":"CAP BOOKSHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52209103962421,"sku":"9780714842875","price":15.0,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/4157\/3429\/files\/71gBhi0JmEL._SY385.jpg?v=1768477411","url":"https:\/\/capbookshop.com\/ar\/products\/renzo-piano-building-workshop-complete-works-v-4","provider":"CAP BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
