„The architect’s profession is an adventurous one, a job on the frontier. The architect walks a knife-edge between art and science, between originality and memory, between the daring of modernity and the caution of tradition. The architect does the most beautiful job in the world because on a small planet where everything has already been discovered, designing is still one of the greatest adventures possible.“ (Renzo Piano, 1998: Giornale di bordo)
„L’architetto è un mestiere di frontiera, in bilico tra arte e scienza. Al confine tra invenzione e memoria, sospeso tra il coraggio della modernità e la prudenza della tradizione. L’architetto fa il mestiere più bello del mondo perché su un piccolo pianeta dove tutto è già stato scoperto, progettare è ancora una delle più grandi avventure possibili.“ (Renzo Piano, 1998: Giornale di bordo)
