Renzo Piano says:
« The architect is an adventure’s profession: a trade border, poised between art and science. At the border between invention and memory, suspended between the courage of the modernity and the prudence of the tradition. The architect does the best job in the world because in a small planet where everything is already discovered, designing is still one of the greatest possible adventures . »…« But what exactly is an Architect? What is the Architecture? For many years I do this job, and only now I beginning to understand what it is. The Architecture, meanwhile, is a service, in the truest sense of the term. It’s an art that produces things that are needed. But it’s also a socially dangerous art, because art is imposed. A bad book can be not readed, a bad music can be not listened, but an ugly building that we see in front of the house by force. The architecture requires a totally immersion in ugliness, it gives not to the user a choice. And this is a serious responsibility, even for the future generations. »
