After a few early projects that failed to the drawing board in 1971 won a contest that would change their lives: the construction of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. The building, as was the case in the past with another famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower was controversial from the start.
Renzo performs in its early designs that break traditional paradigms in architecture such as authorship, the durability or the same spatial rigidity, projects what he called "adaptable spaces"

Characterized by:

His Phrases
"Architecture is a service." "Architecture is an artistic craft, but at the same time it is also a scientific profession, it is precisely its distinctiveness" - Renzo Piano "When style gets to become a brand, a personal seal, this becomes a cage" "The architect is first and foremost a builder, but also should be a poet, and above all a humanist''

concept:
Piano The guiding idea was to create something more than a museum. Renzo Piano was the lightness of the artist's sense of belonging and light. It was therefore decided to create a place, raise the land, making land available for a work of art itself. As if it were more of a survey done by a knowledgeable farmer, rather than the result of an architectural methodology. So he designed three hills. Three waves that rise and from the ground. With different dimensions, the three waves traverse the ground like a sculpture or the result of the same nature.
Space :
Each has a different function undulations therein. The first and larger, a 400-seat auditorium, and art workshops for children. In the second wave, the middle, smaller than the first, is the permanent collection of Paul Klee, and temporary exhibition spaces dedicated to In the third one, the least of all, lies the research and management.
FORM:
The design of the Zentrum Paul Klee is characterized by the structure of corrugated steel deck. These beams have the complex curves neither is equal to the other, since the wave form extends from the front to the back where it is lost together with the ground, and each "wave" has different height. Each of the curved steel beams with different weights, has been constructed individually. After reviewing alternative materials such as aluminum, copper and titanium, it was decided to use a hardened cover. The ecological criteria, economic and technical were decisive for this choice.

BUILT IN: 1991-1998 LOCATION: Noumea, New Caledonia

Introduction:
Its architecture evokes the vernacular Kanak huts of New Caledonia and still has a very modern feel. It is a community center, and in turn educational museum.
Characterstics:
The project design is intended to take advantage of natural winds coming from the Pacific Ocean. The exterior is made of wood, wind filter a second layer of glass shutters that open and close natural ventilation. The complex is built entirely of iroko wood very resistant to moisture and insects. This wood was imported from Ghana. Iroko structure provides a comb-shaped. Evocative of the cabins and craftsmanship Kanak, the slender ribs of the structure and the slats that are joined seamlessly integrated both in the lush landscape and the culture of its inhabitants. The wood siding and stainless steel, is based on the form of regional huts Kanakas. These structures resemble traditional structural elements such as herringbone struts that prevent buckling of long beams.

Characteristics:
The Academy of Sciences in California is the most current museum by Renzo Piano, which delivers an enlightened and sustainable solution to a building designed in the year 1934 with an avant-garde design. The museum consists of very unique areas such as an aquarium, a planetarium and a reserve green on the inside, in addition to the various exhibition galleries, which, unlike traditional galleries, were designed for receiving large amount of natural light.
Heat by radiant slab reduces the need for energy by 5-10%. The architect implemented heat recovery systems. The green roof creates thermal insulation, which makes it unnecessary to resort to air conditioning systems. High-efficiency glass was used throughout the building. To keep the museum pieces in the moisture content required, it uses a system of moisture by reverse osmosis. Recycled building material is used.
90% of the spaces have natural light and outdoor views. The undulating line of sky allows ventilation to the central square, which disperses the cool air into the exhibition spaces.
The skylights are placed strategically so as to illuminate the forest reserve and the aquarium.
Absorption and reusing rainwater make the building extremely efficient.
To operate the sanitary equipment, reclaimed water from the city of San Francisco is used.
The saltwater for the aquarium will be carried from the Pacific Ocean.
