Renzo Piano

The Centre Culturel Tjibaou designed by Renzo Piano is a prime example of New Age Architecture due to the new age construction technologies mixed with the traditions of the Kanak, an indigenous tribe of Noumea of New Caledonia. The exhibits inside of the buildings are devoted to local art and traditions.

The Interior even seems to harp on the art that it holds. The walls are made of indigenous wood much like the huts that the indigenous people make to live in. Its good to see that all architects are not just making high rise buildings for multi-billion dollar companies. That they can create for people that actually need the buildings. That the buildings they create can reflect the style of the people who actually inhabit the spaces.
