Andrea Maffei graduated with honors as an architect in Florence in 1994. The collaboration between Arata Isozaki (Oita, Japan, 1931), the illustrious Japanese master, and Andrea Maffei (Modena, Italy, 1968), began for the first time in 1997, when the Italian architect moved to Tokyo to work alongside the master. Responsible for the Italian projects by Isozaki, Andrea Maffei was project architect for the Palahockey in Torino, built for the winter Olympics in 2006, and for the Olympic pool and the Piazza d'Armi park in Torino, also built in the same year. In 2005 the branch for Arata Isozaki & Andrea Maffei Associati, with headquarters based in Brera, Milano, Italy, was established. The same company changed its name in 2011 to Andrea Maffei Architects. It is currently spearheading the project for the new Train Station in Bologna and for the CITYLIFE development in Milano, a great residential and commercial building in the former area of the Fair.
