SYNOPSIS
The film delves into the archive of the Renzo Piano Foundation and the Studio. Drafts, sketches, models, renderings, and drawings are housed in 3000 sqm of a converted factory in Genoa, reflecting the Architect’s identity and his way of thinking and working. A place of experimentation, the RPBW archive is a metaphor for a seaport; where goods come and go, each enriching its content and potential communication.
