Renzo Piano is an Italian architect, very famous around the world for his high-tech public spaces such as the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, realized with Richard Rogers. He loves working with very light elements, transparency, and natural light.
“...The city is a reflection of so many stories...” is one of his aphorisms: Renzo Piano is able to express in a simple but inspiring way a complex matter such as the architecture.
