Machado Silvetti is an architecture and urban design firm headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.
Incorporated in 1985, the firm's principals Rodolfo Machado and Jorge Silvetti have been in association since 1974.
[2][3] Their work on the Getty Villa was praised as "a near miracle—a museum that elicits no smirks from the art world.... a masterful job... crafting a sophisticated ensemble of buildings, plazas, and landscaping that finally provides a real home for a relic of another time and place.
"[10] Machado and Silvetti's work has been hailed for its "conceptual clarity and visual intensity", and "the outstanding quality of their architectural principles."
"Construction as an art, and not as a mere technical instrument, is verifiable in each of their built projects, and specially visible in their exquisite details, full of meanings.
