Maxi Spina investigates how issues of differential geometry, computation and new means of fabrication influence the emergence of novel formal and tectonic logics for architecture. His work strives to articulate architecture's corporeal presence and tectonic basis through scalar systems, while strengthening its capacity for representational values.

In 2007 Maxi founded Maxi Spina Architects (MSA), a full architectural design firm, now based in Los Angeles. The firm pursues independent commissions that range in scale from urban and architectural interventions to small scale installations. Notable projects include Reflective Formations, a prefabricated plastic installation that investigates tectonic conditions mediated through a computational field of influences; and Jujuy Redux, a multi Family Housing in Argentina -currently under construction.

Maxi has lectured widely on his work; recent lectures have been at Wash-U, Woodbury , UC Berkeley and the UNR. His work has been exhibited and published widely in the US, Argentina, Italy and Spain. Recently, Reflective Formations and Jujuy Redux have appeared in ArchDaily, Pidgin, TARP, ReVista and suckerPUNCH, while the Jujuy 2056 Apartment Building (Maxi’s first built work) has appeared in Casabella, Praxis, Summa+, Bio, Architectural Record, L’Arca, Metalocus, A+U, the book Rosario: Architecture with Identity, and in the exhibition Urban Life: Housing in the Contemporary City at The Architectural League of New York.

Maxi earned a Master from Princeton University and a Diploma with Honors from the National University of Rosario , Argentina. For the last four years, Maxi has continuously maintained a teaching career in addition to his work at MSA; he is currently an Assistant Professor at Woodbury University in Los Angeles, and has taught at California College of the Arts, the National University of Rosario , and UC Berkeley, where he earned a Maybeck Fellowship in 07-08. Throughout his career, he has actively worked as a designer for Studio Daniel Libeskind, Neil Denari and P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S, among others.
