Renzo Piano is one of the most influential architects of our time — a designer who sees buildings not just as structures, but as instruments that shape the way we experience cities.

In this episode of ArchDaily’s Spotlight, we explore his unique approach to architecture, one that balances engineering precision with poetic simplicity, and how his philosophy continues to redefine the boundaries between art, space, and human connection.
