Gi Giannone

Gi approaches architecture as an interdisciplinary practice that brings together creative thinking, problem solving, and a curiosity about how people experience and use space. He values hand sketching as a tool to explore ideas, while using a range of visual representational techniques to develop and tell the story of a design through all phases of a project.

Gi graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelor of Architecture. For his thesis project, he explored design for unaffiliated worship spaces, aiming to preserve faith for the “spiritual but not religious” and life cycle ceremonies for all. The project earned him the Bronze Medal of the prestigious Pearson Prize and was featured in Dezeen Magazine. Gi also placed second in Drexel University’s annual Ize Prize Competition and received Third Prize in the 2023 Buildner International 'Portable Reading Room' Architecture Competition. At AOS, Gi has supported the design and documentation of multiple projects for educational institutions, including St. Peter’s School and Logan Hope School in Philadelphia, as well as St. Paul’s School in Maryland.
