Dario Giandomenico is an architect and the Founder/Principal of Studio APERTO.  During three decades of professional practice, Dario has applied his skills to a wide variety of tasks, including building design + construction, product development, R+D programming, and strategic planning.  In his practice, Dario works to establish “design agency”—the ability of a project to do more than just address the explicit requirements.  And the best way to develop that ability is to form a true partnership between client and designer, characterized by proactive collaboration and mutual investment in a shared position.
