WEISS/MANFREDI on Architectural Record’s DESIGN:ED Podcast
Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi joined Aaron Prinz of Architectural Record’s DESIGN:ED podcast.
They talked about how landscape and ecology has informed their architecture and design, the collaborative influences that impact a design process, and architecture as public art. Several WEISS/MANFREDI projects were discussed in detail, including the Longwood Gardens West Conservatory, the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Visitor Center, and Hunter’s Point South Waterfront Park in Queens, NY.

Seattle Art Museum: Olympic Sculpture Park
A continuous constructed landscape for art, the uninterrupted Z-shaped "green" platform rises over the existing infrastructure to reconnect the urban core to the revitalized Seattle waterfront.
Longwood Gardens
Longwood Reimagined continues the institution's distinguished history of commissioning outstanding garden designs, resulting in a sweeping yet deeply sensitive transformation in the most ambitious revitalization in a century of America's greatest center for horticultural display.
Hunter's Point South Waterfront Park
Hunter’s Point South Waterfront Park transforms 30 acres of post-industrial waterfront into a program-rich public space that simultaneously acts as a protective perimeter for the neighboring residential community.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden Visitor Center
The Visitor Center provides a legible point of arrival and orientation, an interface between garden and city, culture and cultivation.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden Robert W. Wilson Overlook
Subtly sloping ramps with sculptural retaining walls enhance the Garden's circulation by connecting the top and bottom of the hillside with a newly accessible route.
