Rocco Maragna

Architect /urban designer, writer, speaker, and an explorer of possibilities, particularly interested in the topic of migration as a natural condition of being human. When he won the ‘Canadian Yearbook Award’ in 1979 with his design for a funeral home, the late jury member James A. Murray said, “Palladio is evidently alive and well with something urban and artistic to offer.” In his 20 years of practice, he was guided by the idea that architecture, with its buildings, is a symbol of the complexity of our society in its constant change. He has dedicated himself to turning architecture into an art form continually on public display, in which grace and beauty are elements for building a sense of community.

He has three children, surrounded by life-loving people, dreamers, and thinkers. With his beloved partner Nancy, he divides his residence between Canada and Italy.

This website, a stop on my journey, was inspired and brought to life by Nancy, who curated the storytelling, images, and copywriting. Thanks to her design skills, organizational acumen, and translation expertise, all wrapped in a veil of patience.
