On Tour with Renzo Piano

Производитель: "Phaidon Press"

Renzo Piano, winner of the 1998 Pritzker Prize, is an architect whose work seems increasingly relevant to our times. Always challenging and surprising, each new design never fails to be so excitingly innovative as to capture the imagination of his admirers. One of the very few architects across the world to be intimately involved in each stage of a building`s development - from its concept and masterplan to its construction and detailing - Renzo`s insights into his own projects are revealing and insightful. In this new publication, the reader is offered the rare opportunity to experience the key buildings of the Renzo Piano Workshop with Piano himself. Featuring approximately twenty-five built projects, Renzo Piano introduces each building through his own personal text, followed by a photographic guide which takes the reader from the external to the internal of each project on a frame by frame tour. Projects featured range from urban works such as Berlin`s Potsdamer Platz masterplan,... ISBN:0-7148-4341-5
