One of the most acclaimed designers of his generation, Renzo Piano
established his international reputation through his collaboration with Richard
Rogers and Peter Rice on the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The Renzo Piano Building
Workshop has since completed projects as diverse as the gallery for the De Menil
Collection in the USA and the Columbus International Exposition in Italy.
This series of four volumes covers his entire body of work to date. Now
available for the first time in paperback, Volume 4 in this outstanding series
examines projects from 1989 to 2000, ranging from urban works such as the
Postdamer Platz masterplan in Berlin and high-rise towers in Rotterdam and
Sydney, to the Beyeler Foundation and the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in
New Caledonia, which exemplifies Piano's sensitivity to site and local
tradition, combining traditional materials and techniques with the latest
technology.
