More quotes by Renzo Piano
If you have total freedom, then you are in trouble. It's much better when you have some obligation, some discipline, some rules. When you have no rules, then you start to build your own rules.
Renzo Piano
When you walk 25-30 feet above ground, it is a miracle, because you are still in the city ... but you are flying above the city. You are in the middle of trees, and that is a moment of beauty.
Renzo Piano
A piazza is not a plaza. The plaza is the theme park of the piazza the plaza is the commercial version. A piazza is an empty space with no function. This is what Europeans understand.
Renzo Piano
Architecture is an imposed art in some ways, imposed upon the public, so people must be sure about what you're doing. You have to be sure about what you're doing.
Renzo Piano
My inspiration came from the land, ... and, of course, from Paul Klee . . . and the poetics of his paintings.
Renzo Piano
As an architect you are a builder. You are of course more than a builder. You need to be a militant, you have to be a poet, you have to be a visionary, you have to be an artist. But certainly you have to be a builder. Everything starts from there.
Renzo Piano
A builder is like a little god - somebody who does things, doesnt just draw things.
Renzo Piano

Renzo Piano
There is something about giving everything to your profession. In Italian, an obsession is not necessarily negative. Its the art of putting all your energy into one thing its the art of transforming even what you eat for lunch into architecture.
Renzo Piano
Knowing how to do things not just with the head, but with the hands as well: this might seem a programmatic and ideological goal. It is not. It is a way of safeguarding creative freedom.
Renzo Piano
When a man is not satisfied with a house where he lives, he becomes an architect
Renzo Piano
A museum is a place where one should lose one's head.
