Piano

With this fundamental architectural introduction, we travel from Osaka to Bern and through many other cities, buildings, and islands in between to discover the stunningly diverse work of Renzo Piano. The journey from the Centre Pompidou, which has turned its interior inside out, to the airy shells of the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center in Nouméa, New Caledonia, introduces us to a visionary who never stops experimenting with scale, material, and form to create some of today's most extraordinary and culturally significant buildings. "The beauty of architecture is that every time life starts anew." - Renzo Piano.
