Biography

Piano was born in Genoa, where he still maintains a home and office (Building Workshop). He was educated and subsequently taught at the Politecnico di Milano. From 1965 to 1970 he worked with Louis Kahn and with Makowsky. He worked together with Richard Rogers from 1971 to 1977; their most famous joint project is the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (1977). He also had a long collaboration with the extraordinary engineer Peter Rice.





Trans National Place





Trans National Place, also known as 115 Winthrop Square, is a supertall skyscraper proposed for construction in Boston, Massachusetts. The building was designed by architect Renzo Piano, but Piano later left the project in March 2007.[1] If completed, Trans National Place would stand as the tallest building in Boston, Massachusetts, and New England, surpassing the 60-story John Hancock Tower by 15 stories and at least 210 feet (64 meters) to become the tallest building in the city. The developer is local businessman Steve Belkin, who also owns an adjoining mid-rise building, which would be torn down.[2]
Although an official height has not yet been released, the building is expected to have 75 floors and a roof height of approximately 1,000 feet (304.8 meters), with a spire extending the building's total height to around 1,175 feet (358.1 meters). The tower's design also incorporates a rooftop garden, park, and observation deck entitled "Lookout Garden".
However, on May 15, 2008, the Federal Aviation Administration objected to the the building's proposed height, deeming the structure a possible flight obstruction to the air traffic of nearby Logan International Airport.[3] Although plans for a 1,000–foot (352 m) skyscraper have not yet officially been abandoned, it is possible that Belkin will develop a new design with a height range closer to that of the 790–foot (241 m) John Hancock Tower in Boston's Back Bay.[3]
Construction was originally scheduled to begin in 2008, with the opening taking place in 2011.[4] However, given the FAA's recent objection to Trans National Place's proposed height, the tower's construction process has been stalled
