Rafael Vinoly Architects Offers Advanced Architectural Training Course, Fall 2007

Rafael Viñoly Architects

Offered for a third time in the fall of 2007, the Rafael Vinoly Architects Training Program develops the operational and intellectual instruments that form the basis of professional practice. Without substituting for a formal architectural education, weekly classes are addressed to advanced students and practicing architects who find a significant gap between their formative instruction and the challenges they face as professionals. The course is designed around the idea that architectural know-how is not an intuitive ability that comes only with experience but a body of knowledge that can be taught. Once-a-week classes, taught principally by Rafael Viñoly, begin in September, 2006. Tuition is free. No academic credit is awarded.

Rafael Viñoly Architects PC is a critically acclaimed international practice with headquarters in New York and London, as well as site offices across the U.S. and Europe. Founded in 1982, and now employing over 170 people, the firm provides comprehensive services in building design, urban planning, and interior design for new facilities and renovations.

The deadline for submission of proposals is July 1, 2007. For further information, see www.rvatr.com
