This tome on Renzo Piano (b.1937) provides an enlightening study of his underlying approach to architecture and how this influences his technique, followed by a detailed presentation of the range of his buildings and projects from the period 1987 to 1993.\nIn an interview recorded especially for this book, Piano talks about his early career as a designer, his attitude towards technology and his continuing evolution of what Peter Buchanan has called a natural architecture. Many of the completed buildings featured in this volume are located in and around Pianos 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44909612892213,"sku":"ByrdShop_0714838993","price":67.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0714838993_0c5a5566-3ae6-41c5-a295-711a2a46b183.jpg?v=1784549560","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/renzo-piano-building-workshop-complete-works-volume-2-renzo-piano-building-workshop-paperback-9780714838991","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
