Massimiliano Fuksas


The New Exhibition Center designed by Massimiliano Fuksas is one of Fuksas's greatest designs in my opinion. The building moves away from all conventional means of architecture especially in Italy, a place of classical architecture. It seems that Fuksas thought of classical architecture and its elements then turned them on their heads and built this building. I think it is extremely important for an architect of each age or generation to take what they have learned and experienced then create their own unique interpretation of architecture. Fuksas in no doubt accomplished his own interpretation of architecture that no other architect has before.


The building has fair pavilions, offices, reception areas, a congress center, a service center, and meeting rooms. The roofing seems to concentrate and move light all over the building. It looks like a giant grid was bent, punched, twisted, then pulled to create the pseudo landscape that hovers over your head. In all I think that Fuksas's design is completely innovative and a perfect example of New Age Architecture.
