Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on September 14, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Renzo Piano! May your celebrations reach heights even greater than The Shard—though let's be honest, topping Europe's tallest skyscraper might require a really big cake. Your visionary designs have reshaped skylines from London to New York City; clearly you're the architect who knows how to elevate any occasion.

From crafting iconic landmarks like The New York Times building and breathing new life into cultural spaces such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, you've built more masterpieces than most people build IKEA furniture in their lifetime. Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity—and fewer blueprints lost under piles of birthday cards!
