Public Natures: Evolutionary Infrastructures

Public Natures: Evolutionary Infrastructures

<em>Public Natures: Evolutionary Infrastructures</em> explores the potential to shape a new public realm. 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, <em>Public Natures</em> is both monograph and projective manifesto and suggests a new paradigm for infrastructure that is distinctly public in nature.
