As public and natural realms are continually eroded, Weiss/Manfredi believes architecture should concern itself with the whole of the built environment.

By intentionally drawing from and contributing to the systems that are intrinsic to a place, our projects are evolving experiments in the creation of a more elastic definition of architecture: one that connects the loose ends of art, landscape, infrastructure, and ecology to create new forms for public engagement.

The necessity of design provides an impetus for research, and often the unpredictable detour invites surprise and innovation.

Our search for resonance is nonlinear. The abandoned studies from one project stimulate investigations in another. In the reciprocity of our teaching and practice, opportunities for delight and discovery are revealed.
