Chris Giattina Email & Phone Number

I’m an architect, manufacturer, builder and teacher. I believe everything can be made better; figuring out how is part of my job. I work with smart designers, industrial engineers, manufacturers, and builders, to make better buildings faster. Designing training facilities for Honda and Kia introduced me to manufacturing methods that could improve the design and construction process. The key is bringing an understanding of manufacturing to design so that its productivity can be realized in construction. We made a framework to organize our ideas and methods: Design Manufacture Construct™ was the result.GA is our architectural firm, it is the D in DMC. We design thoughtful buildings AND know how to knit the manufacturing methods into traditional construction that enhance a building's quality while speeding its delivery to market. BLOX is our manufacturer, the M in DMC. It was created out of necessity - we needed a manufacturer interested in making our building parts. It is lean from stem to stern and routinely works with other architects, engineers and trade contractors. General contractors across the country form the C in DMC; working together as an intelligent team we are making better buildings. More at GAstudio.com and BLOXbuilt.com.
