In Renzo Piano’s Auditorium Del Parco, he materializes a series of intentional relationships between acoustics and structure, color and enclosure, community and music. The lean of the central cube portrays an illusion of instability while allowing for an occupiable interior that utilizes the greatest viewing and hearing capabilities. Piano uses wood due to its reflective acoustic qualities and material flexibility while providing a sustainable design. The building is designed to be quickly taken apart and assembled in segments using metal bolts. The exterior surface is sheathed using color-coded larch slats to enhance the motion of the volume and the vibrancy of the space. Overall, Renzo Piano shows the architectural potential of motion and intentional communication in all aspects of the building and design.
