Book Description
Certains architectes possèdent un style reconnaissable entre mille. Ce qui différencie Piano des autres, c'est qu'il exprime un ensemble d'idées cohérentes au travers d'une extraordinaire diversité de moyens. Voilà pourquoi la griffe de Piano ne se discerne pas au premier coup d'oeil dans des réalisations aussi uniques que le Centre Pompidou, le New York Times Building ou l'aéroport du Kansai d'Osaka. Chaque projet est une renaissance, comme l'explique Piano : "Ce qu'il y a de merveilleux avec l'architecture, c'est cette impression qu'à chaque fois la vie recommence". Cette monographie actualisée, illustrée de photographies, de dessins et de plans, couvre toute la carrière de Piano jusqu'à ce jour, et toutes les expressions de sa singulière esthétique. Elle comprend de nouvelles photos de l'aile moderne de l'Art Institute de Chicago, de l'extension du Kimbelle Art Museum de Fort Worth, au Texas, ainsi qu'un avant-goût des projets qui l'occupent aujourd'hui, comme le Valetta City Gate de La Valette, à Malte.

Book Description
As Peter Buchanan has shown in the first three volumes of Renzo Piano's (b.1937) complete works, Piano follows no fashions of form or theory, nor is he limited to a personal idiom. Instead he concerns himself with the specifics and potential of a particular situation and moment, meeting the challenges of the programme, pushing the limits of technology, but always responding sensitively to the topography or urban fabric of the building's site. This fourth volume on Renzo Piano provides an illuminating study of the architect's working method, in particular his regard for context, followed by a presentation of his projects from 1989 to 2000. These range from urban works such as the Potsdamer Platz masterplan in Berlin, a science museum in Amsterdam and high-rise towers in Rotterdam and Sydney, to the acclaimed Beyeler Foundation, and the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in New Caledonia, which exemplifies the architect's sensitivity to site and local tradition, combining traditional materials and techniques with those from the cutting edge of technology.
