About the book: With this fundamental architectural introduction, we travel from Osaka to Bern and through many other cities, buildings, and islands in between to discover the breathtakingly diverse work of Renzo Piano. The journey from the Centre Pompidou, which turned its insides outwards, to the airy shells of the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in Nouméa, New Caledonia, introduces us to a visionary who never stops experimenting with scale, material, and form to create some of today's most extraordinary and culturally outstanding buildings.
