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 is a manual for expanding the terrain of architecture to construct more resilient settings for contemporary life"--From page [4] of cover Weiss/Manfredi Architects 302771 ARCHITECTURE / General 196833 Architecture environmental aspects 196981 Architecture and society. 54083 Architecture durable 196888 Illustrated works 297308 Sustainable architecture 176114 Manfredi, Michael A. 249486 Bellin, Eric 302772 Weiss/Manfredi Architects 302773 lcc 27 NA737.W398 General A4 2024 305494 305494 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2026-01-22 Amazon 70.99 0 General NA737.W398 A4 2024 91000000752642 2026-01-22 15:02:42 1 80.99 0000-00-00 27
