Jorge Silvetti looks back on a long career as both a designing architect and as an architectural teacher and theoretician. Born in Argentina, he was one of the founding members of Arquitectos Asociados, an experimental group formed by six advanced architecture students at the Universidad de Buenos Aires in 1965.
