HANSOM QUITE A PERFORMANCE

摘要

Well now I've heard everything. In Greece last week construction of a new cultural quarter in Athens, Greece, paused for a very special performance. The Greek National Opera teamed up with developer the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and the scheme's architect Renzo Piano to present "Dance of the Cranes", a creative dance performance involving the choreographed movements of ten giant cranes on the construction site. Special lighting and visual effects highlighted the cranes, as they moved to music from composer Gustav Hoist's The Planets. The €566m (£4S4m) project will be home to the Greek National Opera and the National Library of Greece once it opens in 2016. UK-based consultant Faithful+Gould is the project manager and employer's representative on the scheme.
