The Power of Pro Bono: 40 Stories About Design for the Public Good by Architects and Their Clients

The Weiss/Manfredi-design Robin Hood Library at P.S. 42 in Far Rockaway, Queens is featured in The Power of Pro Bono: 40 Stories About Design for the Public Good by Architects and Their Clients, edited by John Cary. The publisher writes:

"Open: New Designs for Public Space puts forth the simple proposition that new public spaces need not be the banal leftovers of design neglect. Open showcases the best recent public projects from some of the world's most talented designers, including Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, Craig Dykers, Peter Eisenman, Zaha Hadid, Walter Hood, UN Studio, Norman Foster, Weiss/Manfredi, and Will Alsop. More than 300 images, many commissioned for this publication, illustrate a range of projects from emmorials to new types of urban plazas and parks."
