Summary

"This book is a tour: it allows the reader to travel together with Renzo Paino around twenty-two of his realized projects. It offers the rare privilege of a guide throught the eyes of the architect, focusing not only on what are the key elements of each building, but also on how each is perceived by its originator. Presented through introductory text, a concept sketch and a sequence of photographs that take the reader from the outside to the inside, from overview to detail, the diversity and original accomplishment of each built project is revealed." - page 6.
