In this episode, Christian sits down with Yann de Rochefort, a New York-based restaurateur, husband, father of two boys, and the founder/CEO of Boqueria.
He embraced his entrepreneurial spirit, love affair with Spain, and passion for design in 2006, when he opened Boqueria’s flagship restaurant in NYC’s Flatiron neighborhood. Fifteen years later, Boqueria has become an east coast institution, with seven locations spread throughout Manhattan, Washington D.C., and Chicago.

Welcome to The Anti-Architect Podcast. I’m your host Christian Giordano. As the president and owner of design firm Mancini Duffy, I’m driven by a quest for learning and radically changing the industry through tech-first innovation. With this podcast, I’m hoping to improve the industry that I’m so passionate about by taking a critical look at how architects work with their clients and, in turn, how our clients view us.
It’s my goal to showcase all of these experiences - good and bad. Was it the architect or the client - or somewhere in between? I aim to bring my audience new voices from our industry, interesting people with diverse backgrounds. Through shared experiences, stories, and projects my hope is that we can improve our profession.
