For the first time, the work of Renzo Piano will be exhibited in London at the Royal Academy. This exhibition follows Piano’s career and how the Renzo Piano Building Workshop designs buildings ‘piece by piece’. Drawings, models and full-size experiments that have rarely been shown before will offer a glimpse into the design process of his most-well known buildings including The New Your Times Building and The Shard.
