Clinical Assistant Professor Christopher Romano holds a B.P.S. in architecture as well as a professional M.Arch. degree, with a concentration in architectural theory and design, from the State University of New York at Buffalo. In 2005, he received the chair’s award for consistent, high-caliber design work performed in the studios. His research and teaching explores the relationship between design and construction and the contemporary culture of building. Romano teaches courses in beginning design and digital fabrication with an emphasis on full-scale experimentation and design/build pedagogy. A second line of scholarship focuses on testing ideas and issues related to environmental sustainability as director of the "Sustainable Futures" study abroad program located in the cloud forest of Costa Rica. This ten-week program is an interdisciplinary program in architecture, landscape architecture, and planning drawing students from a consortium of five universities. He is LEED certified and is principal of Studio NORTH, an independent research office dedicated to working on projects creatively and inventively with ideas of construction; often buildings within the city that he has purchased independently. Romano’s work has been exhibited in NYC at the Center for Architecture and various locations in Buffalo.
