Renzo Piano, a famous contemporary architect who was born in Genoa, has been in the design world for more than decades with the unique passion for freedom and love for art unique to Italian men. Although he has experienced the baptism of turbulent war, his heart is still as lively and full of vitality as a child.
In 1998, Piano won the 20th Pritzker Prize. His representative works include: Center Pompidou/Kansai International Airport/Thibao Cultural Center/Renovation of Potsdamer Platz, etc. In addition to his overseas-renowned works, his sketches are the object of imitation by many designers. The main themes are clear, the lines are extremely refined, and the occasional color embellishment makes the pictures suddenly beautiful. These are all derived from his confident and mature design thinking. Now Brother Neng will take you to experience the master's soul sketch~
