Renzo Piano designed a skyscraper for American Boston

Boston - Notable Italian architect Renzo Piano has prepared a project for a 300-meter-tall skyscraper, which would become the tallest building in downtown Boston upon its completion. The design of the glass and steel structure was created at the behest of Boston's mayor, Thomas Menino, but its realization must first be approved by the city's development agency.
In February of this year, the Boston mayor informed private investors that the city intends to make one of the last available plots in the central part of the city available. He simultaneously encouraged potential applicants for construction not to hesitate to replace the existing outdated garage building with a bolder project.
Ultimately, only a single proposal from entrepreneur Steve Bolkin was submitted to the bidding process, where investors were to send their projects. He chose to collaborate with the renowned Italian architect.
Renzo Piano's tower office building is designed as a 75-story structure; the tallest Boston skyscraper to date is 16 floors and 60 meters shorter. This may pose challenges for the project during the approval process it must go through before obtaining a building permit.
Sixty-nine-year-old Renzo Piano, one of the most significant living architects today, has completed dozens of projects around the world. A recipient of the Pritzker Prize, he is co-author of the Paris modern art gallery Centre Georges Pompidou, and recently was behind the design of the redevelopment of Berlin's Potsdamer Platz and the project for the Swiss Paul Klee Centre.
