Renzo Piano, a 1998 Pritzker Prize-winning Italian architect, was responsible for the design of the Botín Center (Santander), inaugurated in 2017, a project in which Industrias Metálicas Anro collaborated as the producer of the building’s main steel structure (1,400 tons of steel).
He graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in 1964, a period in which he began experimenting with disruptive designs that we were to observe in future projects. Furthermore, during this time, he would be strongly influenced by his friend and teacher, Jean Prouvé, from whom he would develop his unique construction technique.
In 2012, the Botín Foundation, an organization that promotes the social development of the community of Cantabria, hired the services of this awarded architect for the construction of a space that promoted the expected paradigm change in the community.
