Renzo Piano is one of the world’s greatest living architects and
creator of a host of iconic modern buildings, including the
Pompidou in Paris, the Menil Collection in Texas, Kansai Airport in
Japan, the Shard in London and the new Whitney Museum of American
Art in New York. Written and created in collaboration with the
Piano Foundation in Genoa, this richly illustrated volume covers
the early work as well as the most recent designs, making a
complete survey of his career to date. Starting with his beginnings
with the Pompidou Centre in the 1970s (in collaboration with
Richard Rogers) the story continues up to construction of one of
his latest works, a spectacular new bridge in Genoa in 2020.
 The book explores all of the studio’s main projects: the
public spaces and museums, airports, theatres, and libraries. As
well as giving unique insights into the creative process of Piano
himself, the book includes numerous unpublished designs and
photographs. In the process the book reveals Piano’s unique way
of handling light and space, as well as his particular attention to
the social implications of the profession of architect and the
relationship of buildings to their urban environment and landscape.
