Résumé

Renzo Piano - winner of the Pritzker Prize, 1998 - is an architect whose work seems increasingly relevant to our times. Always challenging and surprising, each new design never fails to be innovative and exciting and to capture the imagination of his admirers. One of the few architects 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 Workshop with Renzo Piano himself.

Featuring approximately 25 built projects, Renzo Piano introduces each building through 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 the Potsdamer Platz masterplan, to the acclaimed Beyeler Foundation and the Jean Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in New Caledonia. The Renzo Piano Building Workshop is characterized by its 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.
