Renzo Piano

Architect

An architect, who of all his contemporaries, continues to create the most remarkable architectural works, suggesting the direction of future architecture. As one of the leaders of modern high-tech architecture, he sought to express architectures by means of highly industrialized materials. In an era of confusion of various architectural concepts, he consistently combined architectural styles with developing technology to achieve higher levels of humanistic expression and cleared the path for new architectural possibilities, which appeared in many masterpieces, including the Pompidou Centre in Paris.

*This category then was Category of Creative Arts and Moral Sciences.

*This field then was Field of Arts (Painting, Sculpture, Architecture).
