The Anti-Architect - A podcast by Christian Giordano - Tuesdays

Categories:

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. https://theantiarchitect.com/
