Resumen: Public Natures: Evolutionary Infrastructures explores the potential to shape a new public realm. Essays, roundtable discussions, and selected projects by WEISS/MANFREDI identify new terms, conditions, and models that insist architecture must evolve to create more productive connections between landscape, infrastructure, and urban territories. With a foreword by Barry Bergdoll and contributions from Kenneth Frampton, Preston Scott Cohen, Felipe Correa, Keller Easterling, Paul Lewis, Hashim Sarkis, and Nader Tehrani, Public Natures is both monograph and projective manifesto and suggests a new paradigm for infrastructure that is distinctly public in nature.Resumen: "As elements of the constructed landscape, infrastructure is a means rather than an end--rail and subway lines, distribution grids, waterways, traffic signals and signs, on-and-off ramps, highways, and bridges of our cities are essential in a practical sense but dead in a social one. They create boundaries and perform as agents of separation, preventing one metropolis from physically connecting with another. But their very physical presence may reveal latent qualities of places that are key to vitalizing urban life, and by leveraging that presence to support a broader range of ecological, institutional, and cultural imperatives, these utilitarian structures could transcend their pragmatic roles and become points of meaningful public exchange. In Public Natures: Evolutionary Infrastructures, New York City-based firm Weiss/Manfredi tests such a possibility and takes the pursuit to practice, in turn crafting a manifesto/monograph hybrid replete with essays, roundtable discussions, and projects that explore new obligations and opportunities for infrastructure"

Library Journal Review

This book pays tribute to a noted American architectural firm, Weiss/Manfredi, headquartered in New York City for 20 years and practicing today globally but especially throughout North America. In keeping with the volume's title, the firm's work represents the dissolution of public design throughout the world, much like politics and economics. Both principal founders are professors of architecture (Weiss is Graham Professor of Architecture, Univ. of Pennsylvania's Penn Sch. of Design; Manfredi is Gensler Visiting Professor, Cornell Univ.) Also, both are fully ensconced in their multiple disciplines of art, architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design-just like the way the Cornell School of Art, Architecture, and Planning was named many years ago. The foreword is by professor and curator Barry Bergdoll of Columbia University and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Dissolution, the book explains, is the key to design today, as it branches out into fabrics, senses, soils, waters, surfaces, styles, airs, screens, fences, borders, etc., growing ever more anthropological and ethological in keeping with our animal and human behaviors. Essays by noted scholars and a complete bibliography add value to this title as an introduction to design in and as a computerized world. -VERDICT This is a strictly academic work and not recommended for public libraries.- Peter S.
