Introducing the SNFCC
At times when things seem to be getting a bit too bleak it's nice to hear about something happening that gives the future some hope. Here's a project that sheds some light on the future.
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and the Renzo Piano Building Workshop unveil the Foundation's cultural centre (SNFCC) at the Faliron Delta in southern coastal Athens.
The construction of the cultural, educational, and recreational complex, designed by noted Italian architect Renzo Piano, who is regarded as master of sustainable architecture, will be launched this year and will include the 170,000m2 (42-acre) Stavros Niarchos Park, a state-of-the-art headquarters for the National Library of Greece, as well as a new cutting-edge for the Greek National Opera.
The construction of the 550-million-euro project will be funded entirely by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and after it is completed it will be donated to the Greek state.
