Winner of the prestigious Pritzker Prize in 1998, Renzo Piano is one of the most important architects in the world today. After providing an overview of his career spanning almost four decades from the Centre Pompidou in Paris (1977) to the Shard in London (2012), this panel focuses on the legacy of Italian humanism in Piano’s projects and on his role in the architecture of the 20th and 21st centuries. Special emphasis will be placed on the New York City projects, both completed and in progress.
The panel featuring eminent experts Dr. Martin Filler (Architecture Critic, The New York Review of Books) and Prof. Kenneth Frampton (Columbia University) will be moderated by Arch. Giovanni Santamaria (New York Institute of Technology) and introduced by Dr. Teresa Fiore (Montclair State University).
Light refreshments will be served.
