Designing inspiring spatial experiences with Carlo Giannasca

Which parts of our heritage and childhood form who we are and impact what we do in later life? If you spend your childhood wallpapering your bedroom walls with drawings of Europe’s great buildings, are you desisted for a career in built environments? Does being a self-confessed neat freak make you better at simplifying complex problems? In this case, the answer is resoundingly, “yes!”.  Carlo Giannasca is a multi-award-winning graphic and three-dimensional environmental designer who is a sough-after thought-leader and speaker at universities and design conferences worldwide. For almost four decades, he’s been engaged in helping people and their communities reimagine and implement new possibilities for work, learning and life.   He’s also Partner and Managing Director of Frost*collective. During his 20-year professional partnership with Vince, he’s transitioned from Creative Director to Managing Director, and led major environmental graphics and wayfinding schemes for Qantas’ terminals and headquarters, the International Towers at Barangaroo and Sequis Tower Jakarta.  Listen in as Vince and Carlo discuss; getting his start in the 80s with Australia's first iconic designer Garry Emery, how sneaking out of a hotel in Venice aged 10 on a family holiday and having to find his way back alone impacted him, and what it means to earn a 4th dan black belt in karate. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
