With offices in Rome, Paris and Shenzhen, the Fuksases have completed projects of contrasting scales and typologies: airports, theatrical scenographies, urban planning, large infrastructure, housing projects... Their most recent include the Shenzhen Airport in China, Palace of Congress in Rome, and Peres Peace House in Israel. The book also features their most emblematic creations like the Milan Trade Fair, Ferrari Research Centre in Maranello, and Armani boutique in New York. Interviews and several texts enhance the publication and help to round off the overview of this ultimate reference monograph of Fuksas' work.

This book is a comprehensive look of the design by Doriana and Massimiliano Fuksas.

New Convention Centre is a work of outstanding artistic merit, featuring innovative logistics solutions, and a choice of technically advanced materials. The structure rises in the historic EUR quarter and covers a surface of 55,000 square metres. The project concept can be defined in three images: the Theca, the Cloud and the Lama of the hotel structure.0The Cloud, or true core of the project, is enclosed inside the Theca box underlining the contrast between the organization of free space without rules, and a geometrically defined form. It contains an auditorium with seating for 1,850, cafés and snack bars, and support services for the auditorium. This book narrates the complete detailed history of this monumental architectural work and its construction through numerous and evocative images of the work site showing the complexity of the construction stages and the special techniques that were necessary. There are also photos of the completed building, by internationally renowned photographers. The preface of this monographic publication in single Italian or English language, is a critical essay by Joseph Giovannini, and is completed with very rich iconographic material composed of technical drawings on various scales, and sketches by Massimiliano Fuksas, author of the work together with Doriana Fuksas. The book has been published on various types of paper and differently sized sheets which are inserted within the pages.

Massimiliano Fuksas presenta en esta obra de arquitectura el desarrollo de una nueva poética de la ligereza. Más que un edificio, deberíamos hablar de la creación de un nuevo paisaje, una nueva geografía: el agua, el bambú, el uso de materiales ecológicos

"Caos sublime", è "la complessità di una megalopoli risolta senza la presunzione di un urbanista-guaritore che arriva e decide di adottare un piano, di imporre un ordine che rischia sempre di aggiungere disordine al disordine". L'architettura è la forma espressiva e artistica più legata alla vita degli uomini e sempre più coinvolta nei grandi temi di discussione globali. Le città che crescono a dismisura in pochi anni, la scomparsa delle campagne, le periferie e gli insediamenti intensivi, l'abusivismo, i musei che rispondono all'esigenza di cultura di massa, si moltiplicano e rischiano di diventare in futuro aree industriali dismesse, i centri storici che si trasformano in shopping center, il problema della nuova committenza, sono solo alcuni temi che Massimiliano Fuksas affronta e che mette in rapporto con il mestiere quotidiano dell'architetto. Molto più di un semplice libro di architettura, questo volume, attraverso la visione del mondo di uno dei più discussi e celebrati maestri contemporanei, affronta con forza e intelligenza i temi più caldi del Paese e del mondo, senza tirarsi indietro di fronte alle polemiche e alle scomode prese di posizione politiche.
