renzo piano recently released plans of his latest project the stavros niarchos foundation
cultural center (SNFCC). the center will be located at the faliron delta area in athens, greece
and will include the latest in environmentally progressive, state-of-the-art facilities.
in keeping with SNF's and renzo piano's mission to create an emissions neutral facility,
the project has been conceptualized with the highest standards of environmental sustainability.
a pivotal design element of the SNFCC is the roof which form a series of interconnected
photovoltaic cell panels which will taking advantage of the pure 'green' solar and wind energy.
the sea has been incorporated into the design as a canal will run parallel to the existing esplanade
within the border of the building the canal will provide visitors a place for family gatherings,
activity, and relaxation, while also fulfilling a need for flood-protection.
'the cultural center's proximity to water, and the
natural warm breezes and light of athens
were particularly inspiring
during the design process. it was immediately clear that we must
take advantage of all these elements to ultimately design a zero
emissions building that expresses
movement and energy.' - renzo piano
