Review :
"How can architecture shape a sustainable and connected future? That's the operative question posed in an informative new volume by Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi, whose namesake architecture firm's nature-inspired projects often incorporate landscapes and reference topographies. The duo's most acclaimed built works (Olympic Sculpture Park, Hunter's Point South Waterfront Park, Longwood Gardens) are featured alongside parallel research of historical precedents across geographies and centuries (Khaju Bridge in Iran, the Sydney Opera House, Rockefeller Center) to serve as a manual for expanding the terrain of contemporary architecture in the name of resiliency."-- "Galerie" "I can't think of any other monograph that gives over even a few pages to the work of other architects, to articulating how projects by other architects influenced their own thinking, their own designs. It speaks to the modesty of Weiss and Manfredi and their willingness to give credit to those who came before them, though it also speaks to their roles as educators and as insatiable learners. It's not enough to be influenced by a precedent; they document, diagram, and explain the values of the Ljubljanica Riverwalk, Rockefeller Center, the Spanish Steps, and other places that, like the works of Weiss/Manfredi, blur architecture, landscape, and urbanism."-- "A Weekly Dose of Architecture Books" "Drifting Symmetries is Weiss/Manfredi's first monograph in 15 years--and clearly the archi-tect duo used that hiatus to radically reimagine how their buildings could be presented in such a format. As readers leaf through it, they encounter changes in paper stock, from white and pastel tones to translucent vellum. Photo-graphs and illustrations of the firm's wide-ranging work are mixed with written contribu-tions by leading voices in contemporary architecture and design, including Tatiana Bilbao, James Corner, Meejin Yoon, and more."-- "Architectural Record"
