Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi featured on Harvard Graduate School of Design Podcast
Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi join Charles Waldheim in a conversation on Harvard Graduate School of Design’s podcast, Future of the American City. Focusing on their international-contest-winning design for La Brea Tar Pits, Marion and Michael discuss the meaning of the project for Los Angeles—the “City of the Imagination”—and for the world. An enduring public space of revelation and discovery, many of the ambitions and needs of Los Angeles intersect in this Hancock Park site.
Marion and Michael share their thoughts on the magic of tar, the landscapes and cities that inspire them, finding design challenges and opportunities in infrastructure projects, and welcoming the public into open spaces.
