A month ago, I went Triennale in Milano, Italy. There was a special exhibition of a famous architect "Renzo Piano" ( He might be not famous in US or Asia ). The most famous of his works are Pompidou Museum and Osaka Kaisan Airport. He is one of best architects in my mind that his designs always mix with the local tradition, culture and humanism. For example the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Center (as photo in post) in French New Caledonia, he designed whole cultural center like traditional village that stand for a sign of local identity.
Nowadays most of architects tend to design with surreal ways or unfriendly for living, I think they might not realize the real life. People said Renzo's works are something without glitz, well I agree with it totally, but I also think his works are more accessible and more lively and we can feel that his works are part of our lives.
