Renzo Piano is often called a "High-Tech" architect because his designs showcase technological shapes and materials.
High-tech buildings are often called machine-like. Steel, aluminium, and glass combine with brightly colored braces, girders, and beams. Many of the building parts are prefabricated in a factory and assembled later. The support beams, duct work, and other functional elements are placed on the exterior of the building, where they become the focus of attention. The interior spaces are open and adaptable for many uses.

In 1970 an international architectural competition was launched based on a program to build a cultural and arts complex in the centre of historic Paris set out by French President Georges Pompidou.
To maximize internal space, they turned the construction inside-out and exposed a skeleton of brightly colored tubes for mechanical systems. The ducts on the outside of the building are colour-coded: blue for air, green for fluids, yellow for electricity cables and red for movement and flow (elevators, stairs) and safety (fire extinguishers)

GEOMACTARY OF THE AIRPORT BUILDING
The toroid creates a space that is both high in the center portion and low at the ends in order to have unobstructed views of all airplanes and the runway from the control tower.

The 52-story Times Company Headquarters, Renzo Piano's first major project in New York City
The preliminary concept for the building incorporates a transparent glass tower that seems to float above a five-story base. The tower uses a double curtain wall technique that allows the structure to appear vibrant and transparent, yet increase
energy efficiency.

![Page 21: RENZO PIANO](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061113/54594740b1af9fb66e8b57f8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
THE FACARD OF THE TOWER ARE A COMBINATION OF GLASS CURTAIN WALLS AND A SCRIM OF WHITE CERAMIC TUBES, WHICH ACTS AS AN ENERGY EFFICIENT SUNSCREEN.
The steel-framed building, utilizes a screen of 1 5⁄8" (41.3 mm) ceramic rods mounted on the exterior of the glass curtain wall on the east, west and south facades. The rod spacing increases from the base to the top, providing greater transparency as the building rises. The steel framing and bracing is exposed at the four corner "notches" of the building.
