Career

Born in Mirano, Venice, in 1952, Maurizio Milan graduated in Civil Engineering from the University of Padua in 1977 and started his career designing concrete and steel prefabricated structures. In 1982, he founded “Favero&Milan” engineering firm which he left in 2013 to set up “Milan Ingegneria S.r.l.”, within which he is continuing to perform his professional activity. His experience ranges from concept design to final work delivery to the client, along with structural engineering, site supervision and Economic and Environmental Management. He has taken part in the design of numerous projects both in Italy and abroad in collaboration with world-famous architects, completing over one thousand works to the day. From 2002 to 2008 he was professor in the Structural Engineering Master's Programme at the Polytechnic University of Milan. Since 2007, he has been teaching Structural Design at the IUAV University in Venice and, since 2013, he has been tutoring the six young architects of Senator Renzo Piano’s G124 working group, [14] [15] who will be involved in the transformation of Italian suburbs. He is part of the "Casa Italia" project initiated by Prime Minister of Italy Paolo Gentiloni on April 8, 2017, with the aim of determining the criteria for the prevention and safeguarding of Italian building and infrastructure heritage during natural disasters with particular regard to earthquakes.

Working philosophy

The common thread in all Maurizio Milan's work can be summarised in a motto: “Complex problems need simple solutions”. His work has always been characterised by research and experimentation in a constant attempt to offer structural solutions which are both coherent with the architectural design of a project and rigorous from the point of view of safety and functionality. Despite his vocation as a structural engineer, Maurizio Milan has dedicated his career to interpreting the intimate connection between the architectural and structural design, the functional distribution of spaces and the economic sustainability of every project he has been involved in.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Architecture of Italy</span> Overview of the architecture in Italy

Italy has a very broad and diverse architectural style, which cannot be simply classified by period or region, due to Italy's division into various small states until 1861. This has created a highly diverse and eclectic range in architectural designs. Italy is known for its considerable architectural achievements, such as the construction of aqueducts, temples and similar structures during ancient Rome, the founding of the Renaissance architectural movement in the late-14th to 16th century, and being the homeland of Palladianism, a style of construction which inspired movements such as that of Neoclassical architecture, and influenced the designs which noblemen built their country houses all over the world, notably in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States of America during the late-17th to early 20th centuries.
