IDEALS
PERIPHERAL VISION+ cross fertilization
of disciplines
“Heightened disciplinary distinctions between architecture, art, landscape architecture, engineering, and urban planning marginalize the status of the architectural project, precluding new paradigms for contemporary settings.”
- Weiss + Manfredi

LANDSCAPE not only means the physical landscape (topography, geography) but the cultural and historical landscapes that the site may exist on
ARCHITECTURE is always tied
to the LANDSCAPE.

“Architecture can be Informed by the friction, the resistance and the unexpected pleasures and surprises found when different disciplines overlap”
- Michael Manfredi
DISCIPLINE OVERLAP helps further DESIGN as a whole.

“Our ambition was to create connections where seperations existed, illuminating the immeasurable power of an invented setting to bring together art, city and water - implicitly questioning where the park begins and where the art ends”

How is the land linked with the history?
How do you create an over-arching design strategy that is a resilient framework for change?
Process Forms:
Art eludes definition; create multiple settings
Z-Ramp
Expand the territory of art; embrace the city

“We design to clarify the physical and cultural identity of each project, opportunistically integrating multiple disciplines and alternative methodologies to create meaningful settings. ”
