Garofalo Architects, established by Garofalo in 1988, has been widely recognized for its innovative and creative approaches to the art of building. With projects that vary in scale and location, the firm has actively pursued architectural design to include forms of collaboration that cross both geographical boundaries and professional disciplines, extending conventional design practices by taking full advantage of the capacity of electronic media. The work of the firm has been recently recognized as part of “The New Vanguard” in Architectural Record and the “Emerging Voices” program at the Architectural League of New York.
Garofalo holds a bachelor of architecture degree from the University of Notre Dame and a master of architecture degree from Yale University, and was a recipient of the prestigious Skidmore Owings & Merrill Foundation Traveling Fellowship.
