Renzo Piano Building Workshop Practice Information
Renzo Piano Building Workshop – Background to this famous Italian architects studio
Renzo Piano was born in Genoa, Italy in 1937
Renzo 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. Renzo has maintained strong sentimental and cultural ties with his hometown. Genoa’s historic center, its port and its connection to the sea, and his father’s trade activities deeply influenced the young architect’s perspective. During his studies at the Milan Polytechnic, Renzo Piano worked at Franco Albini’s workshop. He graduated from the University in 1964 and began working with experimental lightweight structures and basic shelters.
Between 1965 and 1970, Renzo 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 Renzo 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, Renzo Piano founded the “Renzo Piano Building Workshop”, employing a hundred people with offices in Paris, Genoa and New York.
Projects by Renzo Piano include, among many others, the Cultural Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris; the regeneration of Genoa’s 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 Renzo Piano’s art matures, but his gaze remains adolescent and uncompromising. Awards for Renzo Piano 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).
