Practice Information
Renzo Piano - Background to the architect
Renzo Piano was born in Genoa, Italy in 1937
Piano set up a partnership with Richard Rogers in 1970. Their work was part
of
the seminal High-Tech architecture movement. Current buildings generally
form
high quality contemporary responses.
About Renzo Piano and RPBW
Renzo Piano was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1937, into a family of builders.
He has maintained strong sentimental and cultural ties with his hometown.
Genoas historic center, its port and its connection to the sea, and
his fathers trade activities deeply influenced the young architects
perspective. During his studies at the Milan Polytechnic, Renzo Piano worked
at Franco Albinis workshop. He graduated from the University in 1964
and began working with experimental lightweight structures and basic shelters.
Between 1965 and 1970, Piano traveled extensively to the United States and
the United Kingdom. In 1971, he founded Piano & Rogers jointly
with Richard Rogers, and together they won the competition for the Centre
Georges Pompidou in Paris, where Piano currently lives. From the early 1970s
until the 1990s, he collaborated with engineer Peter Rice and established
Atelier Piano & Rice in 1977.
In 1981, Piano founded the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, employing
a hundred people with offices in Paris, Genoa and New York.
Pianos projects include, among many others, the Cultural Centre Georges
Pompidou in Paris; the regeneration of Genoas old port; the redevelopment
of Potsdamer Platz in Berlin; the Kansai International Airport Terminal
in Osaka; the Beyeler Foundation Museum in Basil; the Centre Paul Klee in
Bern. His most recent projects, including the New York Times newly-established
headquarters in New York City (2008) and the California Academy of Sciences
sustainability-oriented compound (2008), are indisputable proof that Pianos
art matures, but his gaze remains adolescent and uncompromising. Renzo Pianos
many awards include the Pritzker Architecture Prize (1998); the Medaille
d Or by the International Union of Architects (2002); and the Gold
Medal by the American Institute of Architects (2008).
