The Pritzker laureate Renzo Piano is recognized worldwide as one of the most renowned architects of our time. Central elements of his aesthetics include the playful use of natural light, the transparency of his buildings and their fine detailing.
This publication documents nine museum buildings by Renzo Piano Building Workshop.

"The analysis by Stach and the documentation of the RPBW museums by Stach and his students are highly commendable, aided by the consistent formatting, the depth of documentation, and the inclusion of technical information." (John Hill in archidose, 07.2021)
"Die Publikation dokumentiert neun Museumsbauten des Büros Renzo Piano Building Workshop, unter ihnen die Fondation Beyeler in Basel, das Kulturzentrum Jean-Marie Tjibaou in Neukaledonien sowie das Broad Contemporary Art Museum in Los Angeles. Besonderes Augenmerk legt die Darstellung auf deren Räumlichkeit und Detaillierung. In einem zweiten Teil wird der Umgang mit natürlichem Licht in diesen Museen systematisch analysiert. Sämtliche Zeichnungen wurden in einheitlicher Darstellung eigens neu angefertigt." (In RSWB®plus, 07.2021)
