Project Manager, Rafael Viñoly Architects
Jac Selinsky brings eight years of commercial and residential experience in design, construction documentation, and construction administration to Rafael Viñoly Architects. Jac’s interests include the development and documentation of complex enclosure systems including curtain walls, window walls, roofing, precast concrete, metal panel, lightweight structures, and other systems. By working directly with manufacturers, engineers and consultants, he develops systems and details based in understanding of fabrication processes as a means to achieve architectural goals.
Jac also brings extensive digital documentation knowledge and Building Information Modeling (BIM) experience to his projects. He leads his teams in developing design and construction documentation strategies and works with teams throughout the office to develop organization and execution plans for large and geometrically complex projects.
As the project manager of Riverside Center – Building 4, a luxury residential tower in Manhattan, Jac has led the design assist and construction administration process for the exterior enclosure. Working closely with the manufacturer’s engineering and design teams, Jac has had intense involvement in the technical development of the glazing, metal panel, and mechanical louver systems. Additionally, he has developed parametric modeling strategies to analyze and modify building geometry to assist the manufacturer with fabrication and shipping logistics to achieve the design intent while keeping the project on-budget.
Jac was responsible for design development documentation the enclosure for One River Point, a sixty-five storey mixed-use luxury residential project in Miami, FL. Consisting of two towers connected by an elevated parking structure and sky bridge, he developed curtain wall, window wall, structural glass fin, louver, and precast wall systems to meet stringent Miami-Dade performance requirements.
Prior to joining Rafael Viñoly Architects, Jac served as a project architect at Sheehan Partners in Chicago, IL. Among several large scale projects, Mr. Selinsky was responsible for the design, construction documents, and construction administration for the Facebook data center in Luleå, Sweden.
