GIOVANNI BITONTI

My work focuses on the technical development and delivery of architecture, with experience spanning the full project lifecycle from schematic design and design development through construction documentation and construction administration.
 
Over the past five years at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), I have worked on complex international projects across a range of scales and typologies. My experience has focused particularly on technical design, detailing, façade development and multidisciplinary coordination, working closely with consultants, contractors, specialist suppliers and clients to develop coordinated and buildable solutions.
 
A central part of my approach is maintaining the architectural and aesthetic intent of a project as it progresses through increasing levels of technical resolution. I am particularly interested in the relationship between design and construction – understanding how materials, systems, details and interfaces can be developed to preserve the original design vision while responding to the practical requirements of fabrication and construction. 
 
My experience extends through the construction phase, including shop drawing review, site inspections, design reporting and direct coordination with contractors to resolve technical and design issues during execution. 
 
The following work presents a selection of my experience across schematic design, design development, construction documentation and construction administration, illustrating how I approach the development of architecture from design intent

through technical resolution and ultimately construction.
