The third building by Renzo Piano Building Workshop has opened on the new $6.3 billion campus of Columbia University—an initiative 17 years in the making.
The completion of Renzo Piano Building Workshop’s (RPBW) Valletta City Gate comes 30 years after the architect was first invited to remodel the main entrance to Malta’s walled capital.
Renzo Piano never wanted to build a house. With a portfolio of museums, towers, and other award-winning buildings across the world, his mind was elsewhere.
