Renzo Piano, one of the most famous architects in Italy, will curate architecture of the new Rai news 24 studio. There is a lot of anticipation for this new work by Renzo Piano.
Who is Renzo Piano
It seems only right, before giving voice to the declarations ofarchitect for this new work of his, reaffirm the role of Piano in the field of world architecture. Renzo Piano was born in Genoa in 1937 and is one of the most important contemporary architects in the world. He graduated in architecture in 1964 from the Milan Polytechnic. Currently the most famous architect in Italy is resident in Paris (he himself in the interview will define himself "a cosmopolitan"). Piano has won numerous awards. Among the prizes won by the Ligurian architect, there is the Pritzker prize which is awarded every year to a living architect whose works are famous and demonstrate a combination of architectural skill, future vision, commitment in the field. An architect who has produced some work that is also important for people's lives and which has significant implications for humanity and the environment. Piano was awarded by the President of the United States Bill Clinton in 1998.
Another important award was the Hague gold medal in 2008, for "a recognition of a significant body of works that have a lasting influence on the theory and practice of architecture". Not only that, Piano has also won other important awards and in his life as an architect he has received numerous awards. In 2006, for example, he was included in the ranking of the 100 most influential personalities in the world and in the list of the 10 most important people in the art and entertainment sector.
The architect's words for his new job
During the interview with Rai News, the architect explained how he imagines the new studio "the television studio is only a small part of what's behind it that you can see. It is like the tip of the iceberg. The idea is to make this world feel a little more. To some extent it is a magic lantern. I'd like to make it look more like a lab. A bit like what happens when you go to the theater and go backstage, or when you go to the museum and go to the archives. It is beautiful even when you go to the restaurant and observe the kitchen. The camera must always show the editorial office where the work is heard. "
Then Piano focused on another interesting aspect that specifically concerns the work of Rai News: “There is another aspect: Rai News allows you to have a strong bond with Italy. I consider myself a cosmopolitan, but not a stateless person. I have a very strong bond with Italy and wherever Rai News 24 is, it makes me rediscover the bond with the country.”The architect then concluded:“ the workplaces are in some way the mirror of the people who work there and must be more a laboratory ”. We just have to wait to see how Renzo Piano will transform the studios of Rai News 24, with curiosity and certain that the architect will once again be able to surprise everyone with his unquestionable creativity much appreciated in the world.
