NEMO Science Museum
Renzo Piano Building Workshop · Amsterdam, Netherlands · 1997
Renzo Piano’s science museum rises from the waterfront as a large copper-clad volume. Its stepped roof forms an outdoor destination above the city, while the interior accommodates interactive exhibits. The architecture connects a cultural building with the infrastructure and water around it. Visiting: The museum is ticketed, but the sloping rooftop square with views over Amsterdam is free.
