The Anti-Architect

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Christian is honored to launch a special episode because on September 11, 2001, Mancini’s office was completely destroyed in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. The office was on the 21st and 22nd floors of 2 World Trade, the South Tower.

Christian sits down with Mancini’s former Chairman and CEO, Anthony Schirripa, FAIA, and Edward C. Kemper Award recipient, to hear his story of that day, and how the firm survived and recovered from this tragedy.

Thanks to Tony's leadership, no one from Mancini lost their life.

Tony shares his story of real resilience rebuilding the firm after it was completely destroyed in the 9/11 attacks. He speaks of Ralph Mancini, the firm’s clients, the generosity of their profession, and complete strangers. The Mancini office was up and running again in only five days with people working in temporary office space donated from J.P. Morgan Chase and KPMG.

Mancini is making a donation to the Tunnel To Towers Foundation, which honors the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001.

Please never forget.

What is The Anti-Architect?

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.
