Renzo Piano, winner of the 1998 Pritzker Prize, is an architect
whose work seems increasingly relevant to our times. Always
challenging and surprising, each new design never fails to be so
excitingly innovative as to capture the imagination of his
admirers. One of the very few architects across the world to be
intimately involved in each stage of a building's development -
from its concept and masterplan to its construction and detailing -
Renzo's insights into his own projects are revealing and
insightful. In this new publication, the reader is offered the rare
opportunity to experience the key buildings of the Renzo Piano
Workshop with Piano himself. Featuring approximately twenty-five
built projects, Renzo Piano introduces each building through his
own personal text, followed by a photographic guide which takes the
reader from the external to the internal of each project on a frame
by frame tour. Projects featured range from urban works such as
Berlin's Potsdamer Platz masterplan, to the acclaimed Beyeler
Foundation in Basel and the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in
New Caledonia. The ethos of Renzo Piano Building Workshop is
characterized by sensitivity to site and local tradition as well as
by its combination of traditional materials and techniques with
those from the cutting edge of technology. On Tour with Renzo Piano
illuminates this with energy and meticulous presentation.
