Rafael Viñoly Architects - The Skyscraper Center

About

Member Since: 2009

Member Offices: New York City

Rafael Viñoly’s forty-five years of architectural practice in the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East have been consistently driven by the belief that the essential responsibility of architecture is to elevate the public realm.

Viñoly was born in Uruguay in 1944, and, by the age of twenty, he was a founding partner of Estudio de Arquitectura, which would become one of the largest design studios in Latin America. His celebrated early work transformed the landscape of Argentina, where this practice was based.

His design philosophy is rooted in the development of architectural ideas that are powerful, distinctive, and relevant to the specifics of both program and context. In every project, he seeks to maximize the opportunity for civic investment with a goal of forming iconic works that fulfill the needs of the client.""
