(Florence, 1933)
The solar roof, formed by a simple structure of individual pitched modules, protects more than 130,000 square meters of station, and adopts a dynamic parallelogram shape that softens its encounter with the city along its four orientations…
This is final building work of Richard Rogers, initiated before his June 2020 retirement from the firm he founded in London in 1977, and which in 2007 was renamed Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP). The art gallery designed by the Pritzker laur
The form of the station stems from the analysis of the urban fabric of the surrounding neighborhoods in continuity with the existing streets, providing accessibility in all directions. A bold conceptual gesture solves both the topographical problem a
Aunque la fachada ha cambiado desde la fase de concurso, el edificio mantiene sus características básicas. Se divide en tres partes: un tambor intermedio que alberga espacios comerciales y dos tambores de aparcamiento en las zonas superior y bajo ras
En el extremo oriental de Long Island y a pocos kilómetros del océano Atlántico, se ha emprendido la construcción de una colonia de casas de playa orientadas a las clases más pudientes de Manhattan. Treinta y siete arquitectos de prestigio compiten p
Aside from the construction of three new runways and an intricate network of public and private transportation, the enlargement of Barajas Airport – a commission won in a competition held in 1997 and initiated in the year 2000 – comprises three volum
Located on a mountainous site where the Shiga, Mie and Nara Prefectures meet, the school of Minami Yamashiro – a small village close to Kyoto – enjoys the views of the surrounding landscape from the brow of a hill. As if it were a new city, the build

Since it opened to air traffic in 1933, the airport of Madrid-Barajas has undergone numerous enlargements and modifications. Its current battery of passenger terminals is working to capacity; thus the decision to build a new one separated from the re
Both Hilmer & Sattler's initial proposal and Piano's proposal for blocks B4, B6 and B8 expressed the clear desire to offer a continuous facade plane to the new Linkstrasse, converted into a linear park. In his proposal, however, Richard Rogers breaks
The more famous a building is, the more it is wrapped in myths and clichés, and the more we gain from those who take pains to delve into its history. The Centre Pompidou (1971-1977) is one of the iconic constructions of the 20th century. It helped re
“In Paris, everybody wants to be an actor; nobody is content to be a spectator.” What the young Jean Cocteau wrote in relation to Les Six may well also apply to Norman Foster: after six decades of raising buildings all over the world, numerous master

It has been four decades now since the world of architecture, and of culture in general, was shaken by the irreverent forms of the Centre Georges Pompidou, a huge artifact, at once powerful and ingenuous, that seemed to have landed right in the heart
It is often said that politics makes unexpected travel companions; an aphorism all the more true for architects in the shadow of power, especially when they aspire to meaty State commissions. For their part, politicians demonstrate an innate preferen
It might first seem like another illustrated book or photo book. Suffice it to recall the visual panoramas published by Alberto Sartoris or the national examples of fotoscops, a work of the Prats-Gomis-Sert (1967–72). The publication is produced wit
