The Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW) was established in 1981 by Renzo Piano with offices in Genoa, Italy and Paris, France. RPBW is led by 12 partners, including founder and Pritzker Prize laureate, architect Renzo Piano.

Renzo Piano was born on September 14, 1937, in a family of builders in Genoa, Italy. In 1964, Piano began his permanent career as an architect with a degree in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano. He was first employed at the Louis Con studio in Philadelphia and the Mackowski studio in London, and later established his own studio in Genoa.

In 1969, Piano received the first important design project: an industrial pavilion located in Osaka, Japan. In 1971, an engineer suggested that Piano and Rogers cooperate in the International Pompidou Centre competition in Paris. They eventually won the competition and made the Pompidou Centre one of Paris's iconic landmarks. Since the Pompidou project, Piano's bold commercial, public construction projects and museum designs in Japan, Germany, Italy and France have earned him an extensive international reputation. In 1977, Piano started working with structural engineer Peter Reese and founded the Piano & Reese Design Office. After 1980, his firm was renamed Renzo Piano Architectural Studio and established permanent offices in Paris and Genoa.

Piano realized the same far-reaching ideals of the predecessors such as Da Vinci and Michelangelo with the expression of modernism--the perfect harmony of people, architecture and environment, and paid enthusiastic attention to the habitability and Sustainable development. Piano's work ranges from astonishing museums and churches to hotels, office buildings, homes, theaters, concert halls and airports and bridges. In his works, the collision of various technologies, materials and various ways of thinking are widely reflected. These active scatter-type thinking modes are a truly insightful master and a team led by him dedicated to all humanity. gift.
