Interview: Renzo Piano on Innovation / AR Innovators
In his interview with Renzo Piano, Rob Gregory of Architectural Review discusses architecture, responsibility and innovation within the field. Piano talks about architecture is being a highly considered inquiry into the process of making because “architecture is more lasting and profound” and if it is done wrong, with the wrong intentions and assumptions, then “it is wrong for a long time”. In regards to his work, Renzo Piano speaks about the “good and bad stories” that surround buildings. Mentioning The Shard in London, designed in partnership with Hunter Douglas and Pompidou Centre, designed in collaboration with Richard Rogers, Piano reflects on the role of architecture in a city as a public building and cultural magnet.

Renzo Piano has been involved with many cultural projects over the course of his career, which began in 1964. The public buildings that he speaks about, particularly The Shard, expresses the building, not as an object, but as an integral part of the city. He describes it as a “vertical city” of many programs and attractions for different people, day and night uses, and the way in which it interacts with the elements. He also speaks about the challenges associated with each project – cultural, political, economic, technological, structural.

Fairly honest interview from the Master craftsman Piano.
In summary, he tries to address conflicting issues relates in building design such as Necessity vs Desire…
Personally, sorry to see that his ‘Crafted Architecture by components’(he also calls it ‘Piece’ in the interview)
shows a sign of mannerism these days….
Nitpicky, maybe… but the interviewer is meeting with one of the top five living architects, and he can not wear a suit…? Really?
great interview; it is always very inspiring to hear the master speak so simply and yet so profoundly.
funny thing is the contrast between the gentleman Piano and the party boy from the 70′s
