Weiss/Manfredi

Weiss/Manfredi is a New York architecture practice founded in 1989 by Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi, known for work that sits at the intersection of architecture, landscape and infrastructure. The firm’s best-known projects include the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Visitor Center, the Novartis campus building in East Hanover, and Cornell Tech’s Tata Innovation Center on Roosevelt Island. It works largely in the cultural, academic and research sectors, where the brief usually involves stitching a building into a difficult site rather than dropping an object on a clear one. Weiss/Manfredi is lead design architect on the Innovative Genomics Institute-Bakar Labs building at UC Berkeley, which broke ground in July 2026 with Turner Construction building and DGA as executive architect.
