Jean-Marie Tjibaou cultural centre, Nouméa, New Caledonia, by Renzo Piano. The Pritzker-winning architect designed 10 interconnected turrets with a visual nod to the traditional huts of indigenous Kanak people. The iroko-wood slats are designed to protect those inside against sun and heat, while the structures are placed to help shield occupants against the Pacific wind.
