# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Renzo Piano was born in Genoa in September 1937. In 1977, he and Richard Rogers unveiled the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, its structure worn on the outside like scaffolding that never came down. The projects that followed mapped a global practice: Kansai International Airport in Osaka in 1994, The New York Times Building in 2007, The Shard in London in 2012, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York in 2015, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in Athens in 2016, Istanbul Museum of Modern Art in 2022. The Pritzker Prize came in 1998. Since 2013 he has held a seat in the Italian Senate, appointed for life.
