In Atlantis, world-renowned architect Renzo Piano embarks on a captivating journey with his son Carlo, setting sail from Genoa in search of the mythical city of Atlantis. This quest is not just about finding a lost civilization but also about exploring the essence of beauty and perfection in architecture and society. The allure of Atlantis, described as the perfect city, serves as a metaphor for the ideal society that many dream of yet few have seen.

As they navigate through various iconic locations, including the Pacific Ocean, the Thames, the Seine, and beyond, Renzo reflects on his architectural creations, viewing them as integral pieces of a larger mosaic. Each destination provides a backdrop for contemplation, where he measures not only the physical landscape but also the intangible qualities of beauty and imperfection inherent in every building project.
