Gio PONTI - (1970) - Co-Cathedral "Great Mother of God" - (Taranto, Italy)

This Church the "Great Mother of God" is the Co-Cathedral of Taranto. Designed by Giò (Giovanni) Ponti (18 November 1891, Milan -- 16 September 1979, Milan) one of the most important Italian architects, industrial designers, furniture designers, artists, and publishers of the twentieth century. It was conceived considering the close link with the maritime tradition of Taranto. The façade, in fact, represents a kind of canopy that reflects in the pools of the courtyard to symbolize the sea. These perforated reinforced concrete structures reach 50 meters in height and contain the stairs to the use of the tower hidden in the structures of the wing. The interior has three aisles from the essential character in the coating in white plaster, green and ocher. Even in the decorations, there is the hand of the architect, Gio Ponti in fact to give prepared and the Annunciation painted on canvas, the seats for the dignity of the Chapter and stalls for the rest of the canons. The same baptismal font in the chapel of the same name in the middle of the aisle, was designed by Ponti.

Renzo PIANO - (1991) - Rue de Meaux HOUSING (Paris, France)

This residential complex in the 19th district of Paris is Composed of 220 low cost apartaments. The homes all face a central internal garden planted with birch trees. Research into the grani and color of materials led to the creation of a "double-skinned" facade system and the use of terracotta. Applying GRC technology, Renzo Piano [http://www.rpbw.com/] has taken the prefabricated panel to a new level of architectonic sophistication and excellence. "The Rue de Meaux Housing (1991) in Paris exemplifies Piano's ability to bring together innovation and exacting craftsmanship with knowledge of the technical aspects of the production of buildings to achieve new and successful results. The appeal of the building's terra cotta cladding brought a durable surface material back into popularity, while revealing its potential for frank elegance, in contrast to neoclassical applications that often disguised the material."

The National Center of Art and Culture Georges Pompidou [http://www.centrepompidou.fr/], known as Beaubourg, is the result of an international competition in 1971, won by Renzo Piano [http://www.rpbw.com/] and Richard Rogers [http://www.rrp.co.uk/rshp_home] with the engineering support of Ove Arup [http://www.arup.com/]. Beaubourg is located in the heart of Paris in the Marais district. The size of the work, more than 100,000 square meters, and the ambitious program required the presence of exhibition spaces for contemporary art, multipurpose rooms for music, library, large storage areas, have been resolved with a form strikingly at odds with the historical buildings of Paris. The need for highly flexible spaces to accommodate different artistic events led to the adoption of five large floors completely free, 50 meters deep and 170 long. To support these plates has adopted a metal frame left completely exposed to the same pipeline facilities. In this way, the cultural center takes the image of a purely technological machine but, in reality, all components are manufactured and assembled by hand. The relationship with the environment is solved through the creation of public spaces of fundamental importance: the square outside the Pompidou Centre has identified one of the liveliest parts of Paris, crossed by 25,000 visitors day of the museum. The escalators located on the main façade, the roof terraces and the Restaurant GEORGES, designed by Dominique Jacob and Brendan McFarlane, provide unprecedented views of the city, building a direct relationship between the city and museum machine.
