a light journey
Andrea Maffei’s story begins with a trip to Japan where he went to work with the architect Arata Isozaki. A collaboration that inspired both professionally. Once he returned from Japan, he founded the Andrea Maffei Architects studio, which, among many other jobs, handles the development and planning of projects where he is co-author with Isozaki. The approach that characterises the genesis and development of his work concentrates on interpreting the client’s needs through a type of design that makes the best use of the context in which the structure will be located.
He is not interested in creating a form so it may be filled with functions; on the contrary, the core of the project is precisely these functions or, in the case of redevelopment of existing structures, it is looking at the history that they possess to identify the meaning they may have for today.
Maffei has completed major projects and had considerable experience in the Asian and Middle Eastern cultural context, including his role as project leader for Sheikh Al-Thani’s Al Wabrah villa in Doha, Qatar (1999-2001) and later for the project to expand the Qatar History Museum.
Among his most famous projects, he designed, with Isozaki, the Allianz Tower in Milan’s CityLife complex which at 242 metres high is now the tallest skyscraper in Italy. “Conceived as a skyscraper without end, a sort of endless tower” for which the aspiration is “maximum verticality and upward tension, without the limit of having to choose a complete and finished form, rather it applies the concept of a modular system that can be repeated infinitely without interruption”.
