Pritzker Award
Pritzker Award Pritzker award winning architects, Sverre Fehn and Renzo Piano, both used building materials that were inspired by the natural setting of the building. Renzo Piano used curving structures made of wooden ribs and slats on the Jean Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center in New Caledonia. These curved structures were inspired by the traditional building crafts of the island. The wooden cases, a double layer of laminated timber ribs connected by a horseshoe shaped steel beam, look like trees projecting up and over the existing trees on the island. Each of the cases also has a sloping glass roof, stiffened by tension cables, which allows for natural lighting. Natural ventilation can also be obtained by adjusting the louvers, which raises the panes of glass on the roof. Sverre Fehn used the remains of an old farm structure for the Archbishopric Museum. The museum rests on the ruins of a medieval fortress. By using the remaining solid stone wall and vernacular stones to match, natural, building, structures, old, museum, glass, fehn, wooden, wall, using, structure, stone, roof, piano, materials, both, trees, tiles, setting, ribs, lighting, island, inspired, covered, concept, cases, architects, and/or, advantage, winning, walks, very, vernacular, ventilation, unknown
