Biography

Piano was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1937, into a family of builders. He was educated and subsequently taught at

the Politecnico di Milano. He graduated from the University in 1964 and began working with experimental

lightweight structures and basic shelters.[4]

Career

From 1965 to 1970 he worked with Louis Kahn and Z.S. Makowsky. He worked together with Richard Rogers

from 1971 to 1977; their most famous joint project, together with the Italian architect Gianfranco Franchini (it) is

the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (1971). He also had a long collaboration with the engineer Peter Rice,

with whom he shared a practice (L'Atelier Piano and Rice) between 1977 and 1981.

In 1981, Piano founded the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, which today employs 150 people and maintains

offices in Paris, Genoa, and New York City.[5]

In 1994, Renzo Piano won the international competition for the new Auditorium in Rome. The Auditorium Parcodella Musica, a large multi-functional public music complex situated in the north of city, was inaugurated in

2002.

In 1999, Piano designed a watch entitled "Jelly Piano (GZ159)" for the Swatch Summer Collection. The watch

design is clear and the exposed inner workings were influenced by his Centre Georges Pompidou design.[6]

In 2001, he designed the Maison Hermes store in Ginza, Tokyo in the design of a traditional Japanese magic

lantern.[7]It is fory-five meters tall by eleven meters wide.[7]

On 18 March 2008, he became an honorary citizen of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[8]

Piano's recent expansion of the Art Institute of Chicago includes a 264,000-square-foot (24,500 m2) wing with

60,000 square feet (5,600 m2) of gallery space[9]called the Modern Wing, which opened on 16 May 2009.[1][10]

It includes a "fl

ying carpet", a sunscreen that hovers above the roof and a 620-foot (190 m) steel bridgeconnecting Millennium Park to a sculpture terrace that leads into a restaurant on the wings third floor.

His current projects include the The Shard, Europe's tallest skyscraper which was opened on July 6, 2012, and

the Centro de Arte Botn. The Botin Foundation,[11]the largest private foundation in Spain, will invest over US

$150 million for the construction and programming of a new Botn Center that will become an international

reference in culture and education for the development of creativity through art.[12]Another controvertial project

nearing its completion is the Valletta City Gate in Malta which may result in the City's loss of its UNESCOtitle.[13]

On 30 August 2013 he was appointed senator for life because of his "outstanding cultural achievements" by the

President of the Italian Republic.
