Ecken und Kanten leicht bestossen. Besitzvermerk auf Vorsatz. Sonst sauberes und wohlerhaltenes Exemplar. -----Inhalt:. "Renzo Piano zählt zu den bedeutenden Architekten unserer Zeit; 1998 erhielt er den Pritzker Price - und gehört damit zur absoluten Weltspitze. Seine Bauten sind einzigartig und atemberaubend in ihrer Weitläufigkeit, der vielseitigen Verwendung des Materials und Klarheit der Formen. Piano sucht immer wieder nach neuen architektonischen Möglichkeiten, um seine Ideen in harmonische Zusammenhänge zu bringen - und hinterlässt so ständig wechselnde, architektonische Fingerabdrücke. Gemeinsam mit Richard Rogers entwarf er das Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Ihm verdanken wir die Neugestaltung des Potsdamer Platzes in Berlin, das Hermès-Hochhaus in Tokio und das Paul Klee-Museum in Bern. Renzo Piano pendelt zwischen Paris und seiner italienischen Heimatstadt Genua.". ISBN: 9783836503228 Wir senden umgehend mit beiliegender MwSt.Rechnung. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 2640.
