Renzo Piano Building Workshop

The Renzo Piano Building Workshop was established by Renzo Piano in 1981, with offices in Genoa and Paris. Led by nine partners, among them the Pritzker Prize laureate himself, the practice permanently employs around 130 people: architects, visualisation artists, BIM managers, model makers, archivists and operations specialists.

RPBW follows projects from start to finish, typically providing full architectural design and consultancy through the construction phase, and its skills extend to interior design, master planning, landscape and exhibition design. Current work includes the Tokio Marine Headquarters in Tokyo, the Paris North Hospital, the new Politecnico di Milano campus, the Kyklos Centre for Arts and Cultures in Athens and the Waterfront di Levante redevelopment in Genoa.
