Synopsis:
The architecture of Weiss/Manfredi seems to resist stylistic or typological pigeonholing, and this fact is a tribute not only to the variety of work that this New York-based firm has completed, but also to the intelligence and sensitivity of their approach to design. Many of their projects capitalize on the hybrid conditions created by the intersection of the city, infrastructure, and the landscape, locating the focus of the work at a point some where between zones of urbanity and intimacy. The projects presented in this volume include the competition-winning designs for the Women's Memorial and Education Center at Arlington National Cemetry and the Olympia Fields Park and Community Center in Illinois; urban infrastructure proposals, such as their interventions at the Brooklyn Bridge and Columbus Circle in New York; and interior renovations, including those at Columbia University.
