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.
