Michael Costantin, AIA
Michael
Costantin, principal, earned his Bachelor of Architecture degree, Cum laude, from Syracuse University School of Architecture,
and completed diploma studies at the Architectural Association of London, before first entering the offices of Conklin Rossant in the early 80's.
There he gained extensive early experience in the design and development
of large scale civic projects, such as the Brooklyn
Borough Hall renovation and the United
States Navy Memorial at Market Square, Washington, DC. After receiving his architecture license Michael relocated to the
office of Giancarlo De Carlo in Milan, Italy, where he was involved in a
range of urban/architectural projects, especially in the medieval hill
town of Urbino, including the conversion of a medieval convent complex
into the new University of Urbino
School of Economy at Battiferri. After returning to New York and establishing his own firm, working
on diverse residential and retail projects, Michael joined with William
Conklin to form the present firm, Conklin Costantin Architects LLP, and
became involved in a variety of public and institutional projects, from
numerous renovation works at Fordham University to the development of the
MTA’s new Public Board Room Facility.
