1
Architecture is amazing, for sure.
2
It's amazing because it's art.
3
But you know, it's a very funny kind of art.
4
It's an art at the frontier between art and science.
5
It's fed by ...
6
by real life, every day.
7
It's driven by force of necessity.
8
Quite amazing, quite amazing.
9
And the life of the architect is also amazing.
10
You know, as an architect, at 10 o’clock in the morning, you need to be a poet, for sure.
11
But at 11, you must become a humanist, otherwise you'd lose your direction.
12
And at noon, you absolutely need to be a builder.
13
You need to be able to make a building, because architecture, at the end, is the art of making buildings.
14
Architecture is the art of making shelter for human beings.
15
Period. And this is not easy at all.
16
It's amazing.
17
Look at this.
18
Here we are in London, at the top of the Shard of Glass.
19
This is a building we completed a few years ago.
20
Those people are well-trained workers, and they are assembling the top piece of the tower.
21
Well, they look like rock climbers.
22
They are. I mean, they are defying the force of gravity, like building does, by the way.
23
We got 30 of those people -- actually, on that site, we got more than 1,400 people, coming from 60 different nationalities.
24
You know, this is a miracle. It's a miracle.
25
To put together 1,400 people, coming from such different places, is a miracle.
26
Sites are miracles.
27
This is another one.
28
Let's talk about construction.
29
Adventure, it's adventure in real life, not adventure in spirit.
30
This guy there is a deepwater diver.
31
From rock climbers to deepwater divers.
32
This is in Berlin.
33
After the fall of the Wall in '89, we built this building, connecting East Berlin to West Berlin, in Potsdamer Platz.
34
We got on that project almost 5,000 people.
35
Almost 5,000 people.
36
And this is another site in Japan, building the Kansai Airport.
37
Again, all the rock climbers, Japanese ones.
38
You know, making buildings together is the best way to create a sense of cooperation.
39
The sense of pride -- pride is essential.
40
But, you know, construction, of course, is one of the reasons why architecture is amazing.
41
But there is another one, that is maybe even more amazing.
42
Because architecture is the art of making shelter for communities, not just for individuals -- communities and society at large.
43
And society is never the same.
44
The world keeps changing.
45
And changes are difficult to swallow by people.
46
And architecture is a mirror of those changes.
47
Architecture is the built expression of those changes.
48
So, this is why it is so difficult, because those changes create adventure.
49
They create adventure, and architecture is adventure.
50
This is the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, a long time ago.
51
That was back in time, '77.
52
This was a spaceship landing in the middle of Paris.
53
Together with my friend in adventure, Richard Rogers, we were, at the time, young bad boys.
54
Young, bad boys.
55
(Laughter) It was really only a few years after May '68.
56
So it was a rebellion, pure rebellion.
57
The idea was to make the proof that cultural buildings should not be intimidating.
58
They should create a sense of curiosity.
59
This is the way to create a cultural place.
60
Curiosity is the beginning of a cultural attitude.
61
And there's a piazza there, you can see that piazza.
62
And a piazza is the beginning of urban life.
63
A piazza is the place where people meet.
64
And they mix experience.
65
And they mix ages.
66
And, you know, in some way, you create the essence of the city.
67
And since then, we made, in the office, so many other places for people.
68
Here, in Rome, is a concert hall.
69
Another place for people.
70
This building inside is actually designed by the sound, you can see.
71
It's flirting with sound.
72
And this is the Kansai Airport, in Japan.
73
To make a building, sometimes you need to make an island, and we made the island.
74
The building is more than one mile long.
75
It looks like an immense glider, landing on the ground.
76
And this is in San Francisco.
77
Another place for people.
78
This building is the California Academy of Sciences.
79
And we planted on that roof -- thousands and thousands of plants that use the humidity of the air, instead of pumping water from the water table.
80
The roof is a living roof, actually.
81
And this building was made Platinum LEED.
82
The LEED is the system to measure, of course, the sustainability of a building.
83
So this was also a place for people that will stay a long time.
84
And this is actually New York.
85
This is the new Whitney, in the Meatpacking District in New York.
86
Well, another flying vessel.
87
Another place for people.
88
Here we are in Athens, the Niarchos Foundation.
89
It's a library, it's an open house, a concert hall and a big park.
90
This building is also a Platinum LEED building.
91
This building actually captures the sun's energy with that roof.
92
But, you know, making a building a place for people is good.
93
Making libraries, making concert halls, making universities, making museums is good, because you create a place that's open, accessible.
94
You create a building for a better world, for sure.
95
But there is something else that makes architecture amazing, even more.
96
And this is the fact that architecture doesn't just answer to need and necessity, but also to desires -- yes, desires -- dreams, aspirations.
97
This is what architecture does.
98
Even the most modest hut on earth is not just a roof.
99
It's more than a roof.
100
It's telling a story; it's telling a story about the identity of the people living in that hut.
101
Individuals.
102
Architecture is the art of telling stories.
103
Like this one.
104
In London: the Shard of Glass.
105
Well, this building is the tallest building in Western Europe.
106
It goes up more than 300 meters in the air, to breathe fresh air.
107
The facets of this building are inclined, and they reflect the sky of London, that is never the same.
108
After rain, everything becomes bluish.
109
In the sunny evening, everything is red.
110
It's something that is difficult to explain.
111
It's what we call the soul of a building.
112
On this picture on the left, you have the Menil Collection, used a long time ago.
113
It's a museum.
114
On the right is the Harvard Art Museum.
115
Both those two buildings flirt with light.
116
Light is probably one of the most essential materials in architecture.
117
And this is in Amsterdam.
118
This building is flirting with water.
119
And this is my office, on the sea.
120
Well, this is flirting with work.
121
Actually, we enjoy working there.
122
And that cable car is the little cable car that goes up to there.
123
That's "The New York Times" in New York.
124
Well, this is playing with transparency.
125
Again, the sense of light, the sense of transparency.
126
On the left here, you have the Magic Lantern in Japan, in Ginza, in Tokyo.
127
And in the center is a monastery in the forest.
128
This monastery is playing with the silence and the forest.
129
And a museum, a science museum.
130
This is about levitation.
131
And this is in the center of Paris, in the belly of the whale.
132
This is the Pathé Foundation in Paris.
133
All those buildings have something in common: it's that something is searching for desire, for dreams.
134
And that's me.
135
(Laughter) Well, it's me on my sailing boat.
136
Flirting with breeze.
137
Well, there's not a very good reason to show you this picture.
138
(Laughter) I'm trying, I'm trying.
139
You know, one thing is clear: I love sailing, for sure.
140
I actually also love designing sailing boats.
141
But I love sailing, because sailing is associated with slowness.
142
And ... and silence.
143
And the sense of suspension.
144
And there is another thing that this picture says.
145
It says that I'm Italian.
146
(Laughter) Well, there is very little I can do about that.
147
(Laughter) I'm Italian, and I love beauty.
148
I love beauty.
149
Well, let's go sailing, I want to take you sailing here, to this place, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
150
This is the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Center.
151
It's for the Kanaky ethnic group.
152
It's in Nouméa, New Caledonia.
153
This place is for art.
154
Art and nature.
155
And those buildings actually flirt with the wind, with the trade winds.
156
They have a sound, they have a voice, those buildings.
157
I'm showing this because it's about beauty.
158
It's about pure beauty.
159
And let's talk about beauty for a moment.
160
Beauty is like the bird of paradise: the very moment you try to catch it, it flies away.
161
Your arm is too short.
162
But beauty is not a frivolous idea.
163
It's the opposite.
164
In my native language, that is Italian, "beautiful" is "bello." In Spanish, "beauty" is "belleza." In Greek, "beautiful" is "kalos." When you add "agathos," that means "beautiful and good." In no one of those languages, "beautiful" just means "beautiful." It also means "good." Real beauty is when the invisible joins the visible, coming on surface.
165
And this doesn't apply only to art or nature.
166
This applies to science, human curiosity, solidarity -- that's the reason why you may say, "This is a beautiful person," "That's a beautiful mind." This, this is the beauty that can change people into better people, by switching a special light in their eyes.
167
And making buildings for this beauty makes cities better places to live.
168
And better cities make better citizens.
169
Well, this beauty -- this universal beauty, I should say -- is one of the few things that can change the world.
170
Believe me, this beauty will save the world.
171
One person at a time, but it will do it.
172
Thank you. (Applause)

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
