Jay Bargmann, Senior Vice President of Rafael Vinoly Architects PC (USA)

The New York based Vinoly Architects PC was founded in 1983 and provides services in building design, urban planning and interior design. The firm describes itself as a “thinking firm” that aims to create alternative options and labels “design intelligence” as its hallmark.

Selected projects:
Wageningen University and Research, Atlas Building, Wageningen, Netherlands, 2007
Founded in 1918, Wageningen University has evolved into one of the world’s leading education and research centers, focusing on the environmental, plant, animal, agrotechnological, and food sciences. The University has chosen to consolidate much of its activities onto a new campus, the Centrum de Born, north of the town of Wageningen. The location is a barren field and its development will contribute to the green corridor connecting the Rhine Valley and Hoge Velwe Park.
University of Arizona Science Center, Tucson, Arizona, 2008
The conceptual plan for the University of Arizona Science Center envisions the new facility as a bridge over Interstate 10 and the Santa Cruz River connecting the east and west sides of the Rio Nuevo District. This design distributes the various exhibits in a dramatic way along a graceful pedestrian bridge between the proposed Civic Plaza on the east side and the Cultural Plaza on the west side.
This "Bridge of Knowledge" is a dramatic new science-based destination and attraction which physically and conceptually links the University of Arizona and the Tucson community. The Bridge provides a two-way connection between science, technology, engineering and math and the unique cultures, history and arts of this community. The activities along the bridge will provide motivation for people to explore it from both east to west and west to east. It will provide a physical connection between the science-based activities on the east and the historical and cultural activities on the west.
The existence of a dynamic connection between the plazas will stimulate development along both plazas equally. The construction of the bridges and its associated structures will aspire to earn a Platinum rating from the US Green Building standards as a model of achievable environmentally responsible architecture. The Bridge of Knowledge is a totally new model and first step toward the next generation of science-based educational attractions.
