Topic: Silvetti


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  United States of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Francis DiTommaso a/k/a "Checco", Rudolfo Risatti, a/k/a "Rudy", ...
Silvetti's principal argument is that the court erred in refusing to allow evidence which tended to show that her asserted participation in the conspiracy after February 1983 (when Castelbuono first initiated contact with the DEA), including the preparation of certain incriminating documents, was in furtherance of her and Castelbuono's cooperation with Government agents.
Silvetti's attack on the sufficiency of the evidence is likewise unavailing.
As one ground for reversing their convictions, Molina-Chacon, Risatti and Silvetti contend that the trial court erred in instructing the jury that it is no defense to a charge of conspiracy to violate the narcotics laws that the defendant consciously avoided learning that the substances involved were actually narcotics.

There is not a lot of Machado and Silvetti's architecture anywhere, although they have in recent years done notable buildings at Princeton, where they are the authors of the university's overall master plan.
Their design, though, is always unmistakably Machado and Silvetti, and the fact that their projects have won award after award over the years -- both in this country and abroad -- surely signaled that it was only a matter of time before they achieved a breakthrough in their built work.
The fact that Machado and Silvetti are able to pull this off testifies to the fact that they are very cosmopolitan designers.

Their basic shapes were created by Machado and Silvetti, but they were then completed by the Boston firm Wilson Butler Lodge, theater specialists.
Unlike some famous architects, Machado and Silvetti avoid the temptation to create a recognizable "signature style" of their own, a fact that surely helped them adapt to the difficult South End site.
Machado and Silvetti slipped last year with their One Western Avenue apartments next to the Harvard Business School, a stupefyingly boring and self-important design.

 Domus Web
In recent years, Rodolfo Machado and Jorge Silvetti have made a transition from careers previously characterized by experimental urbanistic proposals and teaching at some of America’s most prestigious schools of architecture to a practice capable of realizing large commercial, academic and cultural buildings across the United States.
If Machado and Silvetti have adapted from the theoretical or speculative to the literally concrete, one nevertheless recognizes in this modest institutional structure, set amid somewhat dowdy New England houses and generic commercial premises, many of the themes present in their work since initial, unrealized proposals in the 1970s.
Machado and Silvetti’s architecture is characterized by an exaggeration of the ordinary and the special, a tactic that invokes the poetic and the surreal.

 DAYBREAK - Blueprint for the Future -- UCSF Plans for Mission Bay Campus
Based in Boston, Machado and Silvetti, which is associated with Gordon H. Chong and Partners, Olin Partnership, Research Facilities Design and Ove Arup Partners, will be commissioned by BALSA to prepare the detailed master plan required to guide growth of the site.
Jones, who served as a consultant to the jury along with other technical advisors who evaluated each design against a set of University guidelines, says it was important that the architectural plans be flexible enough to withstand the test of time since the phased development of the project largely depends on state and donor financing.
Flexibility was equally important to Machado and Silvetti Associates, according to their narrative description submitted to the panel.
