A concise yet comprehensive survey of the oeuvre of the 1998 Pritzker prize winner, Renzo Piano.
Renzo Piano, born in Italy in 1937, 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. In 1998 Piano was awarded with the Pritzker prize. This new addition to the Studio Paperback series will provide the reader with a highly competent overview of Renzo Piano's architectural oeuvre.
