Stories of a sixty-year-long fil rouge

Guided tour in the Foundation 

The guided tour of "Villa Nave," home of the Renzo Piano Foundation, will offer the opportunity to enter a unique space, home to materials and documents that recount over sixty years of design activity. This heritage consists not only of completed works, but also of the creative processes and challenges faced by the architect and his collaborators. A tale of knots, threads, and connections that weaves together stories, ideas, and visions to reveal the complexity and richness of a work that continues to engage with the present.

The Image of the Construction Site. Architecture goes on Television

What happens when the language of architecture meets that of television? A conference with Roberto Dulio and Michela Pilotti

In the late 1970s, Renzo Piano experimented with this intertwining in a series of television projects broadcast on RAI networks. Opening the doors to his architectural practice, Piano recounted his approach to architecture not only through sketches and drawings, but also through film. The cameras thus captured a series of experiments on models created directly on set, in a mise-en-scène in which the dimension of the project interacts with the perception of images and with television's ability to convey the principles of construction live. An invitation to reflect on the role of the media as tools of knowledge, the influence of images, and their communicative power in the architectural field. With Roberto Dulio, professor of History of Architecture at the Politecnico di Milano, and Michela Pilotti, architect and PhD student in History of Architecture at the Politecnico di Milano.
