Giattina Aycock Architecture Studio

The Giattina Aycock Architecture Studio (formerly Crawford Giattina Mitchel and Giattina Fisher Aycock) is a large architecture firm founded in 1966 by Brandon Crawford, Joseph Giattina, Jr and ___ Mitchel.

Crawford left in 1980 to co-found Crawford McWilliams Hatcher Architects. Marzette Fisher and Jamie Aycock later became partners. It is currently led by Joseph's son, Christopher Giattina, along with senior principals Aycock, Fred Yeager, Ty Cole, and Brian Giattina. Kyle D'Agostino, Amanda Moore, Susan Swider and Laura Gavin Donald are also principals in the firm.

After outgrowing their former offices in the former 1st Church of Christ Scientist on 11th Avenue South, the firm moved into street-level office space in the Jemison Flats at 1827 1st Avenue North.
