Renzo piano. Piece by piece
Description
Renzo Piano has intentionally defined no signature style because "each time the story you are telling is a different one, using a different expression. This program documents the career and the creations of the Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect, exploring his passion for visual lightness, his belief that buildings should be constructed on a human scale, and his concern that architecture is a contaminated art. Spectacular footage and excellent computer graphics reveal the visionary qualities of his achievements, including the regenerated Potsdamer Platz, Houston's Menil Collection Museum, and the Tjibaou Cultural Centre in New Caledonia.
