 Renzo Piano has created some of the most emblematic buildings of our age, including the New York Times Building in New York City, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Shard in London, and the Parco della Musica in Rome. Here, Renzo Piano himself-whose many international awards include the prestigious Pritzker Prize-presents in his own words the works on which he has built his reputation over a span of fifty years. Over one hundred works are featured, accompanied by over one thousand images of Piano's work around the world including new photographs, drawings, and sketches, both intimate and authoritative, all with commentaries by the architect that combine personal anecdote and technical description with original insights. No other architecture book will appeal to such a broad range of professionals and general readers alike. This is an unmatched introduction to the work of one of the world's most influential and inspiring architects.
