architecture for human beings
As one of the leading architects in Europe, Massimiliano Fuksas shares his views on architecture. It is expected that architecture should look good and function well, but Fuksas argues that it should be more than just that, architecture should ultimately be designed for the human.
embedded emotions in architecture
Fuksas speaks out against strategy based architecture, he believes that each project should be a reflection of the architect’s emotions, hence should never be the same. It should be about the inspirations and emotions of the architect that drives the design process.

"I think emotion is much more stronger than strategy."
"Design is a piece of love. When you start to make design, doing, you start giving something from you to others."
"Each project is different. Each idea is different. Why, because my emotions change every day or month, 100 times. You need this to live."
