Massimiliano Fuksas, (born 1944)
After further research on the major assignment, and flicking through a book i received as a present I've decided to change my master Architect to Massimiliano Fuksas. I have already completed an assignment using Calatrava as inspiration, so i thought I'd try somethone different.
Having no previous knowledge of Fuksas and i was intrigued to find out more about the architect who is renowned in Europe for both his experimental buildings and an extensive list of public works, including schools, housing estates, universities, libraries, cultural spaces and museums.
Fuksas is an Italian architect currently working out of Rome and Paris. He started his first practise in 1967, graduating with a degree in architecture two years later. His first series of works were chiefly located in Central Italy, until discovered by French critics, resulting in invitations to compete in international competitions. Since 1985 Fuksas' career has gone from strength to strength, with an increasing number of projects as well as contributing to many various boards and committees and architectural journals. Below are a few select images of Fuksas' works.
Cassino, New Municipality seat, 1980-1990
Maison des Arts, Bordeaux III (France) 1992-1995
De Cecco Management Centre, Pescara (Italy) 2001-2007

The main inspiration for my design of the warehouse for the major assignment.
