Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - The story of Massimiliano Fuksas, a Roman architect of Lithuanian origin who was born in Italy but spent much of his early years in Central Europe, is one of a progressive conquest of important design opportunities and renown, to the point where he has now become one of the best-known Italian architects on the international scene. After a decade spent designing experimental buildings in Central Italy, between 1970 and the early 1980s, Fuksas found important opportunities for work in France and began to establish an international reputation. From 1985 onward he realized a series of major public works in that country, including schools, housing estates, universities, media libraries, cultural spaces and museums, showing how necessary it is, in the life of any talented architect, to be given the possibility of doing something concrete, of putting into practice the fruit of his reflections and researches. In 1995 Fuksas returned to Italy and re-opened his studio in Rome. In 2000 he was appointed director of the International Exhibition of Architecture at the Venice Biennale, staging an event that included the work of many members of the new generation of architects and attracted great interest all over the world. This volume, while illustrating visually the more important of the works he produced between 1970 and 1990, tends to focus chiefly on the ones constructed over the last fifteen years which have earned him the international standing he enjoys today. The new Ferrari headquartets at Maranello, the "bubble" buildings for Nardini, the Armani stores in Singapore, Hong Kong and Milan, a new commercial building in Turin and the new seat of regional government in Piedmont, the Peace Center in Jaffa commissioned by Shimon Peres and Yasir Arafat, the new Conference Centre in Rome, the Twin Towers in Vienna and the shopping malls in Salzburg and Hanover are just some of the works realized in these years, culminating in the new Milan Trade Fair, the largest in Europe and a symbol of the city's revival, inaugurated just a few months ago. The volume shows the works and projects he has produced at a feverish pace, arranging them in the form of a story told in acrylics and including sketches, drawings, structural details and photographic reportages, along with a series of short, exclusive interviews with some of the clients who have played an important part in Fuksas's work in recent years, from Giorgio Armani to Walter Veltroni and the Nardini family.
