Biografia Figlio del regista Román Viñoly Barreto e dell’insegnante di matematica María Beceiro, nacque a Montevideo in Uruguay, ma crebbe e studiò in Argentina. Frequentò l'Università di Buenos Aires, ottenendo un diploma in architettura nel 1968 e un master in architettura e urbanistica nel 1969.
Nel 1978 si trasferì con la famiglia negli Stati Uniti. Nel 1983 fondò a New York lo studio di architettura "Rafael Viñoly Architects PC". Nel 1989 si aggiudicò la progettazione del Tokyo International Forum. Terminato nel 1996, è considerato da molti il più importante complesso culturale del Giappone.
Stanziatosi definitivamente a New York, morì il 3 marzo 2023 all'età di 78 anni.
