Renzo Piano Building Workshop: Complete Works (Volume Two)

Renzo Piano is considered to be one of the world's greatest living architects. He has made his name over the last twenty years as a provocative and inventive designer, first as co-author, with Richard Rogers and Peter Rice, of the Centre Pompidou in France and then gradually with projects as diverse as the gallery for the de Menil collection in the USA, the Bari Sports Stadium in Italy and the Kansai Airport passenger terminal in Japan. This volume provides a study of Piano's working method, followed by a presentation of some of his most significant buildings and projects from the period 1987 to 1993.
