B.Arch (Hons) ANZIA, MSc Arch (Hons), GCert Mgt - ASC Architects director and teacher of design at tertiary level.
The son of Italian immigrants to Australia, John studied for his Bachelor of Architecture at Melbourne's Deakin University, then for a Master of Science in Architecture (Hons) from Howard University in Washington DC. He has worked for ASC Architects since 1989 and won 36 design awards, both local and international. His outstanding work on Botany Downs Secondary College alone has won five. John has completed commercial, educational, residential, industrial, retail, interior, signage, furniture, product and health design projects. Commissions have ranged in size from schools for 2000 students to a table lamp. John is committed to research, with perhaps the best examples of this found in his portfolio of educational buildings. John owes his architectural successes in part to being the 'listless, uprooted' child of European immigrants, 'not belonging to a New Zealand tradition, yet not evidently of southern European origin'
