For the architect from Genoa, sustainability is the only option. At Grupo G\u00e1miz we have been lucky to collaborate in his project for MOdA, the renovated headquarters of the Paris bar association.<\/h2>\n

\u201cSustainability consists in building thinking about the future, not only taking into account the physical resistance of a building, but also thinking about its <\/span>stylistic resistance<\/b>, the <\/span>uses<\/b> of the future<\/b> and the <\/span>resistance of the planet itself and its energy resources<\/b>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Could he say it any more clearly? This opinion, reflected in the book <\/span>Renzo Piano, sustainable architectures<\/span><\/i> (Ed. Gustavo Gili, 1998), marks <\/span>the sustainable vision of Renzo Piano’s architecture and urban planning<\/b>. The Italian, with a Pritzker prize in 1988, is not only one of the top architects of the last 50 years, but also <\/span>a reference point<\/b> for architects<\/b> who strive to <\/span>protect the world<\/b> in which we live<\/span> with their works without limiting the imagination and creativity<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

From high-tech architecture to the sustainable reflection<\/b><\/h3>\n

It would be an absurd task to try to deduce whether Renzo Piano has changed as the world has changed or, in contrast, if he has tried to change the world in parallel to his own personal evolution, transferred to his projects. While it is true that in its early days he forged an image of a high-tech architect, <\/span>one of his most emblematic works marked the turning point in his work and in the general conception of world architecture<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pompidou Centre in Paris<\/b>, a project in collaboration with his colleague Richard Rogers, was hailed in its day as the height of modernity, the future of architecture. Nevertheless, the <\/a><\/span>enormous energy costs<\/b> and the rapid ageing that <\/span>building with large quantities of metals<\/b><\/a> of all types entailed was soon noticed. This problem worsened with the oil crisis in 1973 and that forced architects to think about <\/span>a more sustainable path for architecture<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
