Maurizio Mucciola is an Architect and Director of PiM.studio Architects in London.
Maurizio is fascinated by the relationship between city, architecture and public places, and is passionate about rethinking the way these interact. How can we create better connections between private and public spaces? How can internal and external spaces better flow into one another? How can people positively influence the way public spaces are used? He has explored all of these questions in his work as lead architect for V&A Dundee, a dramatic building which draws people to the waterfront, revitalises the idea of public space, and blurs the boundaries between a building and its surroundings.
Before setting up PiM.studio with Maria-Chiara Piccinelli in 2016, Maurizio worked with Kengo Kuma & Associates in Tokyo, Edinburgh and Paris, with OMA/Rem Koolhaas in Rotterdam, and with Jeffrey Inaba at C-Lab in New York.
In December 2019 he was elected as a Fellow Member of the RIBA ‘in recognition to significant contribution to architecture, the profession and the community’.
He is also a member of the RIAS (Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland).
Maurizio holds a Master of Architecture from the Politecnico di Milano and a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from GSAPP – Columbia University.
He taught at the London School of Architecture 2018/2020, co-leading with Maria-Chiara Piccinelli one of the LSA Design Think Tanks and he’s a RIBA student mentor.
