Brilliant book. I first saw it on the 22nd floor of The Shard in London in early July and was absolutely fascinated by all the diagrams and the way the ideas came to the architects. i am not usually one for modern architecture but all the research behind the ideas and how the architects got their ideas really thrilled me. A book to definitely own.

il libro e' arrivato anche in anticipo. E' molto bello e completo fino ad una certa data. Anche i commenti sono adatti a tutti. Purtroppo non comprende i lavori degli ultimi anni.

Renzo Piano ist schon ein toller Architekt!

Als Liebhaber von Bildern von Paul Klee bin ich auf das interessante Bauwerk seines Museums in Bern gestoßen.

Diese "Welle in der Landschaft" hat mich magisch in seinen Bann gezogen. Und wie es so ist, habe ich mich irgendwann entschlossen, es mit meiner Frau - einer Kunstlehrerin - in Bern zu besuchen.

Bilder von Paul Klee kann man überall in der Welt bewundern, wahrscheinlich sogar die bekannteren von ihm. Aber dieses Museum ist einmalig, ich empfehle einen Besuch für jeden Liebhaber von Kunst und Architektur. So eine Harmonie von Architektur und Natur habe ich bisher noch nie gesehen!

Und wie es so kommen kann, lese ich im Museum etwas über seinen Architekten und Erbauer, Renzo Piano.

Voller Erstaunen und Entzücken erfahre ich darin, daß ein weiterer Lieblingsbau von mir - das Centre Pompidou in Paris - ebenfalls von ihm entworfen und gebaut wurde.

Welch ein Gegensatz: In Paris die absolute Disharmonie zur Umgebung und in Bern diese einmalige Harmonie.

Oh Renzo, ich danke Dir für diese Bauten! Wahrscheinlich sind wir beide "Zwillinge", weil wir diese zwei Seelen in uns haben - würde meine Frau sagen -
