London 2000 Phaidon Hardcover Very Good
Hardcover, Jacket: Very Good, 29 x 26 cm, 239 pp., English, Illustrations, book condition: Very Good. As Peter Buchanan has shown in the first three volumes of Renzo Piano's (b.1937) complete works, Piano follows no fashions of form or theory, nor is he limited to a personal idiom. Instead he concerns himself with the specifics and potential of a particular situation and moment, meeting the challenges of the programme, pushing the limits of technology, but always responding sensitively to the topography or urban fabric of the building's site. This fourth volume on Renzo Piano provides an illuminating study of the architect's working method, in particular his regard for context, followed by a presentation of his projects from 1989 to 2000. These range from urban works such as the Potsdamer Platz masterplan in Berlin, a science museum in Amsterdam and high-rise towers in Rotterdam and Sydney, to the acclaimed Beyeler Foundation, and the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in New Caledonia, which exemplifies the architect's sensitivity to site and local tradition, combining traditional materials and techniques with those from the cutting edge of technology.
London 1999 Phaidon Press Soft cover Very Good
Soft cover, Jacket: Very Good, 29 x 26 cm, 240 pp., English, Illustrations, book condition: Very Good. This is the second of five authoritative and stylish volumes on one of the world's greatest contemporary architects, written by one of today's most important critics. 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. In 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 Piano's 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.

Textes de Françoise Fromonot, Thierry Paquot et Marc Bédarida. Entretiens avec Renzo Piano. Cet ouvrage propose une lecture de l'œuvre de Piano à travers trois lignes de force, proposées par l'architecte lui-même : l'invention, l'urbanité et le sensible. Renzo Piano, un regard construit inaugure la série de monographies que le Centre Pompidou consacre aux créateurs d'aujourd'hui, toutes disciplines confondues. L'ouvrage propose une lecture de l'oeuvre de Piano, des tout premiers projets jusqu'aux travaux en cours, à travers trois lignes de forces : l'invention, l'urbanité, le sensible. Trois essais interrogent le travail et la personnalité de Renzo Piano. Une vingtaine de ses réalisations sont ensuite analysées. L'ouvrage s'achève par une ouverture sur l'actualité : les projets en cours du Renzo Piano Building Workshop, à travers lesquels l'architecte commente sa pratique quotidienne du métier.
