He was born in 1943 in Saluzzo, Italy. In Turin he received his Master of Arts degree with Carlo Mollino. Maggiora was an apprentice in the ateliers of Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Carlo Scarpa, Oscar Niemeyer and Kenzo Tange. In 1967 Pier Paolo Maggiora opened his own practice in Turin and several years later he founded the studio ArchA. In the following years, during the post-industrial and environmental and infrastructure crisis, he developed project proposals which involved starting from architecture, environmental, land and urban aspects. This led to his theory of architectural territory a concept where territory is viewed from an organic and broad perspective: culturally, socially, economically, functionally and aesthetically.
Dialogue in Architectureedit
In the 1980s he laid the foundations for his theory of a dialogue in architecture, for the promotion of creative projects between architects while at the same time restoring the charm of unitarian diversity, which has created layers over the centuries in the historic city.
His professional activity is based on the general concept of architecture and its role in civil society, and is expressed in a big number of projects and works, where the theory is embodied in structures, masses, surfaces, and facilities.
In the convergence of stimulus and information from different disciplines (ecology, anthropology, urban planning, engineering, sociology, economics, management and finance) is defined, through his whole work, the architectural synthesis where philosophical principles are called to intertwine in forms and functions offered to the social fruition.
