Renzo Piano has been a leading protagonist on the stage of world architecture since the 1970s. His work combines the best building traditions of his native land with the most advanced technological achievements of the late 20th century. Amongst his most celebrated creations are the Pompidou Centre in Paris, built together with Richard Rogers, the de Menil collection in Houston, the redevelopment of the historical port of Genoa, Kansai International Airport in Osaka, the redevelopment scheme for the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, not to mention his much praised Beyeler Museum in Basel and cultural centre in Noumea, New Caledonia.

A thurough analysis of Renzo Piano's career,
By
This review is from: Renzo Piano (Studio Paperback) (German and English Edition) (Paperback)
From the humble beginnings to the Ferarri projects of 2003, Emilio Pizzi depicts a broad range of Piano's works. Though the size of the book is limiting, the text is concise and represents a true understanding of the construction. The complex imagery and intimidating structural vocabulary of Piano are made more accessible in both German and English. Several elevation, perspective and plan layouts are presented along with details of more complex sections. Piano's ability to make accomodating structures that break the norm continues to make him one of the world's most famous architects.
