Library Journal Review

Renzo Piano has become one of the world's most prominent architects. This large-format volume in architect and journalist Buchanan's series on the artist examines 14 of Piano's latest creations. The far-flung group includes the New York Times Building, the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, and extensions to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. Other designs in the volume are large office buildings, auditoriums, and a church, mostly in Europe. Several are conversions of existing structures. Buchanan analyzes each project and contributes thoughtful summary essays about Piano's current output. Piano's busy structural detailing can be distracting, but these diverse urban solutions showcase his sensitivity to site, scale, and context. The supporting color photographs and graphics are excellent. Recommended for libraries with comprehensive architecture collections.-David R. Conn, Surrey P.L., B.C. (c) Copyright 2010.
