Manfredi and Marion Weiss (’84) for a new campus on Roosevelt Island as an incubator, charged with disrupting the equilibrium of the traditional research university with the volatility of tech start-up companies. The book includes an essay by Weiss and Manfredi, as well as an interview with them. The students’ work investigates the potential of historic models to energize new ecological imperatives, academic agendas, and design strategies.
