Summary:
L'œuvre de Renzo Piano est en parfaite adéquation avec notre époque. L'architecte a acquis une renommée internationale lorsqu'il a conçu, en collaboration avec Richard Rogers, le Centre Georges-Pompidou à Paris. Selon Renzo Piano, ce bâtiment a marqué l'apogée et la fin d'une époque architecturale, plutôt que le commencement d'une autre. Le travail du Renzo Piano Building Workshop se caractérise aujourd'hui par des réponses sensibles et adaptées au genius loci (le " génie du lieu ") et aux traditions locales, ainsi que par une alliance intelligente entre matériaux et savoir-faire ancestraux et techniques à la pointe de la modernité. Pour chaque projet, les limites de la technologie sont en effet repoussées un peu plus loin, mais toujours dans un souci de respect et de mise en valeur du tissu historique et des éléments naturels. C'est cette vision écologique, évolutive et humaniste de l'architecture, prenant à la fois en compte les données du site, la culture locale et les enjeux futurs, qui donne au travail de Renzo Piano sa singularité et sa pertinence. Elle explique également la surprenante hétérogénéité de ses réalisations à travers le monde depuis ses agences de Gênes, Paris et Osaka. L'accueil international réservé à l'architecture de Renzo Piano est d'ailleurs à la mesure de la portée géographique de son travail. Ce volume est consacré pour une large part au terminal de l'aéroport international du Kansai (1988-1994), l'œuvre majeure de Renzo Piano à ce jour, et vraisemblablement l'une des plus significatives de ce siècle. L'étude de ce bâtiment constitue la pierre angulaire de l'essai introductif, " De Pompidou à Kansai, et inversement ", dans lequel Peter Buchanan analyse la carrière de Renzo Piano depuis sa collaboration avec Richard Rogers pour le Centre Georges-Pompidou (1971-1978). Ce faisant, l'auteur étudie les projets plus récents de l'architecte au regard de thèmes plus généraux qui se dessinent à travers son œuvre.

Summary:
"Fairy tales 3" brings together the most innovative entries to the third annual fairy tales competition, out of a field of over 1500 participants. The format of each story varies dramatically – from comics, to love stories, text message threads to police reports – but the mission of each is the same: to dramatically rethink how architecture addresses the real issues we face today. The submissions, handpicked by the star-studded jury of the contest, are a kaleidoscopic collection of stunning images and gripping stories, daringly experimenting in the visual realm as well as in the storytelling field. With a layout designed by Bruce Mau Design, Fairy Tales Volume 3 brings together 25 new architectural fairy tales.
