The film delves into the archive of the Renzo Piano Foundation and the Studio. Drafts, sketches, models, renderings, drawings all housed in 3,000sqm of a converted factory in Genoa, which reflect the identity of the Architect and his way of thinking and working. A place of experimentation, the RPBW archive is a metaphor for a sea-port; where goods come and go, each enriching its content and potential communication.
