# Renzo Piano (@renzo-piano)

Renzo Piano was a Italian architect known for technically sophisticated yet often light and civic-minded buildings. The work is especially associated with visible construction, fine detailing, daylight, and collaboration with engineers. Major projects include the Centre Pompidou, Menil Collection, Kansai Airport, and The Shard. A responsible account also considers an unusually broad practice spanning experimental infrastructure, museums, and urban repair.
