PIANO – COMPLETE WORKS 1966–TODAY
From the Pompidou Centre in Paris to the Shard in London, superstar architect Renzo Piano has designed some of the world’s most famous buildings. Now aged 81, his life’s work is laid out in this updated edition of Philip Jodidio’s beautiful monograph, which charts the development of his singular aesthetic over 50 years as he blends striking modernism with municipal functionality on projects for galleries, offices, airports and stadia. The Italian’s unconventional approach is not to everyone’s taste, but he always makes a statement.
