Renzo Piano rose to international prominence with his co-design of thePompidou Centerin Paris, described byThe New York Timesas a building that “turned the architecture world upside down.” Since then, he has continued to craft such iconic cultural spaces as theModern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicagoand, more recently, theWhitney Museum of American Art,an asymmetric nine-story structure in Manhattan's Meatpacking District with both indoor and outdoor galleries. In London, the Piano touch has also transformed the skyline with theShard.

At the age of 84, the Italian maestro retains all of his enthusiasm and kindness—and his recent roster is more impressive than ever. As he confided to the author, “I think at a certain age, one can discover that there is what the French call the ‘fil rouge,' a kind of red thread that relates one building to another over time. In my case, I believeit is about lightness and the art of building.” Fromfreshly built museumsin Athens and Santander;ongoing worksin Lisbon, London, Toronto, and Geneva; to suchhumanitarian projectsas the Emergency Children's Surgical Hospital in Entebbe, Uganda, and the Children's Hospice in Bologna, Italy, Piano's career isa thrilling journey through the beauty and very essence of architecture.
