EDUCATION AT THE FOUNDATION
With the aim of helping children and young people understand the complex profession of architecture and with the hope of introducing students to “the art and technique of building,” the Foundation offers various initiatives suitable for all age groups: conferences, meetings, workshops, and visits to the archives.
WORKSHOPS AND GUIDED TOURS
The Foundation organizes visits and educational workshops for elementary, middle, and high school students.
Younger children can discover the archives and participate in model-making workshops led by Foundation staff.
High school and university students are offered, also based on teachers’ requests, a visit aimed at exploring the RPBW working method and the history of the projects, often narrated by the architects of the firm themselves.
* Requests for visits and workshops can be made by sending an email to contact@fondazionerenzopiano.org, specifying “Visit Request/Information” in the subject line.
COLLABORATION WITH THE “FESTIVAL DELLA SCIENZA”
Since 2009, we have been collaborating with the Friends of the Genoa Science Festival Association. Every year, following the theme proposed by the festival, workshops and presentations are organized involving not only the Foundation’s staff but also some figures from the RPBW studio.
DIALOGUES
Since 2008, Renzo Piano has been meeting with architecture students for a conversation on the art and technique of building: an opportunity to travel through the projects and experience gained in more than fifty years of activity, discovering the beauty of the architect’s craft.
