There is immense opportunity in existing buildings as they are uniquely positioned to engage our cultural values, memories, and aspirations. Renovation, re-reuse, restorations, preservation, conservation - we need all of these approaches and techniques to celebrate the past by transforming existing buildings for the future. A notable portion of Machado Silvetti’s project include renovations or expansions to existing buildings, including at the Getty Villa, the Menokin Project, the Chazen Art Museum, Denver Art Museum, and Bowdoin Art Museum, and ongoing work Syracuse University, the Boston Public Schools, and the New Bedford Whaling Museum.
