GUIDED TOUR

The Renzo Piano Project is presented through its locations in Genoa and Milan. These “living archives” are not conceived as museums; rather, they house models, drawings, images, and documents that tell the story of past and current projects by Renzo Piano and the Renzo Piano Building Workshop. The Milan location also features The Art of Building, the course that the architect teaches at the Politecnico di Milano.

Through guided tours open to the general public, the open days offers visitors a closer look at the materials documenting the work of Renzo Piano and his collaborators, while also providing an opportunity to discover the Renzo Piano Project and its spaces. These spaces are designed to reveal the techniques and secrets of architecture to those who experience it but may not know it; to teach the complexity of building to those who design architecture; and to preserve the living memory of the architectural project for future generations.

The guided tours are open to adults and young people, are conducted in Italian, and take place on selected days throughout the year, either at both locations or at one of the two.

The dates and participating venues are listed below.

Registration is required to participate.
