Neuware - In an era when the dual challenges of climate change and social isolation loom large, Drifting Symmetries emerges as a pivotal exploration of architecture's role in shaping a sustainable and connected future. Weiss/Manfredi's groundbreaking work transcends the boundaries between landscape, infrastructure, and architecture by reinventing sites in response to environmental and social challenges. Presented in this comprehensive volume of projects and parallel research, their work demonstrates a multidisciplinary approach that invents new settings for public life by exploring the gradient between nature and architecture. Featuring Weiss/Manfredi's most acclaimed built works alongside historical precedents and insights from Thom Mayne, Barry Bergdoll, Walter Hood, Nader Tehrani, Tatiana Bilbao, James Corner, Meejin Yoon, Rahul Mehrotra, Hashim Sarkis, Sarah Whiting, and many others, Drifting Symmetries is more than a showcase of projects; it's a manual for expanding the terrain of contemporary architecture to construct more resilient settings for contemporary life. ; Das New Yorker Büro Weiss/Manfredi hat sich über mehr als 30 Jahre hinweg grosse Beachtung und Anerkennung erworben für sein multidisziplinäres Werk, das Architektur, Kunst, Infrastruktur und Landschaftsgestaltung integriert. Marion Weiss und Michael Manfredi verfolgen einen dynamisch-ökologischen Ansatz für öffentliche Räume und werden für die nahtlose Verschmelzung natürlicher und gebauter Umgebungen gefeiert. Drifting Symmetries erkundet die Entwurfsphilosophie von Weiss/Manfredi und präsentiert neben ihre eigenen Arbeiten auch historische Fallstudien, die als Referenz das Engagement des Büros für eine im umfassenden Sinne nachhaltige, responsive Architektur prägen. Dabei liegt das Augenmerk auf Bauten, die den öffentlichen Raum beleben und die ihn nutzenden Menschen aktiv miteinbeziehen. Knapp 500 Abbildungen werden durch Texte von Marion Weiss und Michael Manfredi begleitet. Beiträge führender Stimmen der zeitgenössischen amerikanischen und internationalen Architektur wie Thom Mayne, Barry Bergdoll, Walter Hood, Nader Tehrani, Tatiana Bilbao, James Corner, Meejin Yoon, Rahul Mehrotra, Hashim Sarkis sowie Sarah Whiting runden diese erste neue Monografie über Weiss/Manfredi seit mehr als 15 Jahren ab.…
