"For those who love boats, architecture and original enquiring
minds, this book is a dream. " -Jeremy Irons World-famous architect
Renzo Piano and his son Carlo set sail from Genoa one late Summer
day, guided by the ancestral desire felt by many explorers before
them: to find Atlantis (in Italian, Atlantide). Atlantis is the
perfect city, built to harbour a perfect society. This is its true
beauty, precious and elusive. Renzo Piano, a man who can not only
measure land at a glance but also the sea's infinite geometry,
returns to the places where he has erected his works, mosaic pieces
in the infinite, necessary quest for perfection. With his son he
sails across the Pacific, along the banks of the Thames and the
Seine, reaching as far as Athens, San Francisco's Golden Gate Park
and Osaka Bay. In search of beauty, he finds the imperfections that
every building project carries within it. And so, all that remains
is to sail on.
