Founded in 1983, Rafael Viñoly Architects is an internationally renowned architectural firm with projects spanning six continents. The practice’s defining characteristic has been its ability to elevate the purpose of the buildings it designs to the level of inspiration. It has consistently achieved this by driving typological transformation, and embracing and leveraging the public dimensions of every construction project. Based in New York City, the uniquely diverse work the firm has completed includes award-winning museums, performing arts centers, convention centers, courthouses, athletic facilities, hotels, hospitals, laboratories, recreational venues, residential complexes, and commercial, and educational facilities. Projects range in scale from laboratory casework to airports and large urban commercial and institutional master plans. The firm has also completed several projects involving the restoration and expansion of buildings of significant historical and architectural value. Our approach to design was established and nurtured for over 40 years by our founder, Rafael Viñoly, who passed away in March 2023. The firm has since undergone a transition from a sole proprietorship to a collaborative partnership, led today by Partners Jim Herr, Bassam Komati, Stephanie Tsang, and Román Viñoly. Each worked side by side with Rafael on every organizational, financial, and creative issue implicated in the successful delivery of complex, high-performance projects. Directors Sebastian Goldberg, Rolando Goldstein, Molly Hare, Christina Kruise, Mike Orman, Marco Ortiz, Jac Selinsky, and CFO Andrew Green, most of whom have worked in the firm and with Rafael for decades, round out a tight knit management team that applies the five core values established by Rafael across all aspects of our work: – Every project is a civic project – Translate rather than dictate – Let logic drive timeless solutions – Optimize quality and cost – Be invested in the outcome
