In 1981 the architect founded the Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW). Located in Paris, Genoa and New York, with team of 150 staff, RPBW has realised over 100 projects that include large cultural and institutional buildings, housing and offices, as well as urban plans for entire city districts. Cano Enrico

Piano places great importance on the crafting of elegant buildings “piece by piece”, Piano’s practice makes deft use of form, material and engineering to achieve precise yet poetic elegance. He has command of the entire as well as aesthetic and haptic qualities. Such is the importance of these aspects of the architecture, that fullscale mock-ups of sections of the buildings are created during the design process to test how they will look and feel, from the composition as whole, to smaller technical details.

From now til 20 January, 2019 the Royal Academy of Arts will present the first comprehensive survey of Piano’s career to be held in London since 1989. Presented in the Gardens, on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the Royal Academy, Renzo Piano: The Art of Making Buildings will offer an overview of the architect’s practice through 16 of his most significant projects, dating from his early career systems, to the signature buildings of the present day. Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre, Nouméa (1998), The New York Times Building (2007), The Shard, London (2012), Jéréme Seydoux Pathé Foundation, Paris (2014) and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2015). drawings will reveal the process behind the conception and realisation of Piano’s best known buildings. For example, on display will be one of the original models made during the design process for the Menil Collection in Houston (1986), showing how Piano and his team rigorously explored creative ways to bring natural light into the galleries, creating spaces that would be ideal for viewing art.

Other highlights will include the white ceramic rods from the 1:1 mock-up of The New York Times Building, produced to test their scale, surface and reflectivity, as well as the Cultural Centre in Noumea that captivated the jury. At the heart of the exhibition, there will be focus on the architect himself through 16 photographs by Gianni Berengo Gardin and specially commissioned film by Thomas Centro Botin, 2017.
