Rafael Viñoly was born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1944. An American citizen, he has lived in the United States for thirty years. He attended the University of Buenos Aires and by 1964, at the age of 20, he was a founding partner of Estudio de Arquitectura, which would become one of the largest design studios in Latin America.  Viñoly’s early work transformed the landscape of Argentina, where his practice was based.  After serving as a guest lecturer at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Viñoly settled in New York City.  In 1983 he founded Rafael Viñoly Architects PC with offices in Lower Manhattan and London.  The firm’s work has been unusually diverse including award-winning courthouses, museums, performing art centers, convention centers, athletic facilities, banks, hotels, commercial, industrial and educational facilities, laboratories, and recreational and residential commissions.
