Renzo Piano

Renzo Piano, winner of the 1998 Pritzker Prize, co-designed the Centre Pompidou in Paris with Richard Rogers in 1977 - an inside-out building that turned structural systems into decoration and attracted 3.5 million visitors in its first year. His later works include The Shard in London (2012, 310 meters, UK's tallest building) and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (2015).
