Born in Argentina he was educated in music, the visual arts and architecture amidst the vibrant culture and political turmoils of Buenos Aires in the 1950s and 60s. Silvetti continued his studies and began teaching at the University of California Berkeley after 1967, where his professional association with Rodolfo Machado began. Their work together continues until today as Machado Silvetti Associates, with offices in Boston and Buenos Aires. Silvetti's teaching, projects, and writings have significantly shaped contemporary architectural discourse.
