Architecture and Real Estate Development

Last week - on Veterans Day, no less - I visited the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington TX with my partner Bassam Komati and Rafael Viñoly Architects' Director Christina Kruise, CNP. Jacob Douenias, AIA, NCARB, our Project Manager for the building, showed us around the construction site, which, thanks in part to his diligence and dedication, is speeding toward completion for its March 25, 2025 inauguration. Being selected for this project was one of Rafael Viñoly's (my father's) proudest moments as a naturalized American. He was enormously grateful for the welcome and the opportunity that the US gave him and our family when we arrived in 1979, and being part of remembering and celebrating the stories of America's greatest combat heroes was a profound honor to him. My partners and I and everyone on our team at RVA share his feelings.

  • Approaching the building for the first time - in the afternoon sun.
  • View from the main ceremonial access.  Looking forward to all that scaffolding being removed.
  • Jacob Douenias and Bassam Komati.
  • Difficult to appreciate how dynamic the facade is as you move around it.
  • The Great Hall.
