Renzo Piano
Join us on a curator led tour for a first chance to see this exhibition which will reveal the vision and invention behind his pioneering work, showing how architecture can touch the human spirit.
From the Shard in London to the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the buildings of Renzo Piano have enriched cities across the globe. Marvel in rarely seen drawings, models, photography, signature full-scale maquettes and a new film by Thomas Riedelsheimer that show how inspiring architecture is made. At the heart of the exhibition is an imagined ‘Island’, a specially designed sculptural installation which brings together nearly 100 of Piano’s projects.
Designed and curated in close collaboration with Piano himself, join us for the first exhibition in London to put the spotlight on Piano in 30 years.
