<div class="margin-bottom" id="description_text_headlines"> <div> <strong>Piano, virtuoso: The wide-ranging career of the master architect</strong></div> <div>  </div> </div> <div class="description_text"> <div class="margin-bottom" id="description_text"> Some architects have a signature style. What sets Piano apart is that he applies his coherent set of ideas in extraordinarily different ways. It takes more than a quick glance to see his touch on such individual structures as the Pompidou Center, The New York Times Building in New York, and his 72-story London Bridge Tower. <strong>Each project is a renaissance, because, as Piano himself explains: “One of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life starting all over again.”</strong><br /> <br /> This updated monograph, illustrated by <strong>photographs, sketches, and plans</strong>, spans Piano’s career to date and the many existences of his singular aesthetic. It includes new photographs of the <strong>Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago</strong>, and the <strong>Kimbell Art Museum Expansion</strong> in Fort Worth, Texas, as well as a sneak peek at his current project, <strong>Valletta City Gate</strong> in Valletta, Malta.</div> <div class="margin-bottom">  </div> <div class="margin-bottom"> Text in English, French, and German</div> </div>
