Rafael Viñoly is the founder and principal of Rafael Viñoly Architects PC,
a New York-based firm that has offices in Lower Manhattan and London.
Born in Uruguay, Viñoly moved to the United States in 1978 from Argentina.
He has been in practice for over forty years, with projects in the United States,
Latin America, East Asia, and Europe. Viñoly's work has been driven by the belief
that architecture's essential responsibility is to elevate the public realm. His buildings
have structural originality, utilizing imagination and innovation to capture light and air
and achieve grandiosity. In 1989, he won an open international competition to design the
largest and most important cultural complex in Japan, the Tokyo International Forum.
Completed in 1996, this design secured Viñoly’s reputation as an architect of
great vision and immense professional rigor. He was most recently selected to design
the expansion of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts and was a
finalist on the THINK team in the competition for the redevelopment of the World Trade Center site.
