 Right at this moment I don't have much info on Renzo Piano.
What I have are some photos of one of his project in Barlin. It's a cultural complex in Berlin by Piano.
(I copied these images form a book few years ago... and can't remember the name of it, if i sit in library.. i'll give you all other info)



This is the master plan of a part of the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. After the disasters of world war II Berline was planned to be redesigned. Many famous architects worked in the redevelopment of Berlin. Renzo Piano had a big contribution in this continuous development. In 1992 Daimler Benz's development arm, debis, appointed Renzo Piano (with German architect Christoph Kohlbecker) to oversee the development of its site (totalling over 600, 000 square meters/6.5 million square feet) at Potsdamer Platz. Piano worked with an international design team including Rechard Rogers. The basic master plan of this are was initiated by Schinkel. Renzo Piano has subtly subverted the original masterplan. While conceding that 'modernisation must not undermine the character of the city', he has created a dense and visually varied urban quarter which aims to balance public and private space. Perhaps it was his astute choice of materials, notably terracotta cladding, which allowed him to succeed where Rogers failed- the Daimler Benz HQ at the southern end of the development is, Berlin standards, a skyscraper, breaking free of the discipline of the block. The brilliant device of linking them internally with a glazed retail mall - toplit, like the arcades of the 19th century and genuinely grand in scale - has created a vast public space at the heart of the site. Which is enormously popular with Berliners - 200,000 people came there on the opening day.

 (Oh you know.. Norman Foster also worked in this area. His famous Reichstag Building which is now being used as the Faderale Parliament Building is also within the Potsdamar Platz area)
Here are few more important images related to the mega development project by Renzo Piano:

 A technological society is shifted for the mixing of the goals. Objectives of the society and research paper writing service reviews are filed for the runaway shouts for all people. Society is complete and full of facilities.
