Translated from Italian by Olivier FAVIER. For Renzo Piano, disobedience is the only way to practice the profession of architect, because it allows one to be ahead of one's time. The Architect's Disobedience is a kind of autobiography that, from Genoa, takes us to the Centre Georges-Pompidou in Paris, from Potsdamer Platz in Berlin to the auditorium in Rome, from the Jean-Marie-Djibaou cultural center in New Caledonia to the museum in Sarajevo, but it is also the manifesto of an enthusiastic and realistic creator, open to all disciplines, who has friends in all fields of creation. Born in 1937 in Genoa, Renzo Piano is one of the great architects of our time. Today he runs several offices in Genoa, Paris – where he lives – and Berlin, which, under the name of “Renzo Piano Building Workshop”, bring together around a hundred collaborators, architects, engineers and various specialists.
