This is the story of the replacement for the Morandi Bridge in
Genoa which collapsed depositing a number of drivers to their
deaths a couple years ago. "Building this bridge was like building
a cathedral. I imagined it, but it took it shape only when it
became a choral work, thanks to the efforts of over a thousand
people. It was the most beautifulconstruction site I have ever had
in all my life. Simply extraordinary". With these words Renzo
Piano, on the morning of August 3rd 2020, inaugurated the Genoa San
Giorgio Bridge. A complex project, born from a tragedy, in a place
where "we are all lost ourselves,two years ago, and here we find
ourselves again today ". A professional adventure, but above all
human, unforgettable. This volume, edited and published by the
Renzo Piano Foundation within the monographic series dedicated to
Renzo Piano's iconic projects, tells the entire path in images,
from the demolition of the Morandi Bridge to today. The history of
the project is chronologically reconstructed through more than 100
drawings, unpublished sketches, models and prototypes, annotations,
and construction site photos. In this way the entire process is
well documented, including the different design phases, the
proposals then modified or abandoned in the final project and
second thoughts. Renzo Piano's story especially collected in July
2020, a few weeks after the opening of the bridge, was recorded and
faithfully transcribed in the volume. This book thus becomes a
travel notebook that accompanies the reader in every phase of that
extraordinary adventure that is the profession of designing and
making buildings. Because "building is the opposite of destroying,
it is creating."
