Renzo Piano Building Workshop: Complete Works

Peter Buchanan

Synopsis:
This second volume on Renzo Piano provides an illuminating study of the architect's working method followed by a presentation of his projects from the period 1987 to 1993. In an interview recorded specially for this book, Piano talks about his early career as a designer, his attitudes towards technology and his continuing evolution of what Buchanan has called 'a natural architecture'. Many of the completed buildings featured in this volume are located in and around Piano's home town of Genoa, from the soaring structures associated with the 1992 Expo in the old docks to the ground-hugging form of his own laboratory-workshop in Vesima.
