Renzo Piano wasn't originally considered for the new location of NYC's Whitney Museum, but after nine of the 10 architects interviewed for the gig mentioned Piano's buildings as among their favorite museums, the search committee chose him for the project, which should be done in 2015. When he's not being jabbed at by crotchety archi-critics, Piano is working on renovations to Harvard's art museums, slick micro-cabins, and buildings with coral reefs. [NYT via Curbed NY; previously]
