Public Natures: Evolutionary Infrastructures

Public Natures: Evolutionary Infrastructures explores the potential to shape a new public realm. Published in 2015 by Princeton Architectural Press, 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. The book is designed in collaboration with Project Projects, and images are courtesy of Princeton Architectural Press and Project Projects.
