About
Rafael Viñoly’s forty-five years of architectural practice have been consistently driven by the belief that the essential responsibility of architecture is to generate the most elegant solution within the economy of each project. His deepest focus has been on maximizing the opportunity for civic investment generated by every construction project. Viñoly’s work is marked by a sustained structural originality that transcends the passing fads of architectural movements. He is a member of the American Institute of Architects, the National Academy, the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Japan Institute of Architects, and the Sociedad Central de Arquitectos in Argentina.
