Renzo Piano is a popular and famous Italian architect. He is interesting because of his serious contributions to architecture and his interest in reality with high

ly conceptual design. Recently he has begun to seek natural preservation as an influence in his work which is informing my big idea. There is always great care in the contemplation of structure materiality and feeling with his work that is rivaled by very few. The recent focus on "green" buildings has provided an inspiration to many. Green architecture can have a negative connotation because the architect becomes so involved in making the space environmentally friendly that they forget the user. However, Piano does not overlook either aspect and creates a building which engages nature and its users.
