Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW) is an internationally acclaimed architectural practice founded by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Renzo Piano in 1981. With offices in Genoa, Paris, and New York, the studio is known for designing buildings that blend innovation, technical precision, and deep respect for context. RPBW’s projects range from landmark cultural institutions like The Centre Pompidou in Paris and The Shard in London to humanitarian architecture and urban regeneration masterplans. At the heart of the practice is a collaborative ethos—where architecture is seen as a collective craft rooted in research, detail, and lightness.
