Author: Weiss/Manfredi
As elements of the built landscape, works of infrastructure are a means rather than an end. Yet their very physical presence reveals hidden qualities key to revitalizing urban life. In Public Natures, New York City based firm Weiss/Manfredi tests such possibilities by crafting a hybrid manifesto/monograph filled with essays, roundtable discussions, and recent projects that explore new opportunities for infrastructure. Case studies located throughout the world are featured in the book, including the award-winning Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, Brooklyn Botanic Garden Visitor Center in New York City, and many others.
ISBN 9781616893774. Princeton Architectural Press. hb. 304 pages. 429 colour ills. 19 x 24 cm.
