• Summary:"Converging Territories: Island Incubator envisions a new campus on Roosevelt Island, charged with disrupting the equilibrium of the traditional research university with the real-time volatility of tech start-up companies. An essay and interview highlight the background and recent work of WEISS/MANFREDI and explore the firm's ongoing interest in an expanded territory for architecture. Converging Territories also traces a geneaology of relevant and visionary academic and corporate research centers, investigating the potential of these models to energize new ecological imperatives, academic agendas, and design strategies. Nine student proposals for a new research and development center on Roosevelt Island are included alongside commentary by a selection of notable juniors including Felipe Correa, Joyce Hsiang, Florian Idenburg, Paul Lewis, Thom Mayne, Hilary Sample, Joel Sanders, and Dean Robert A. M. Stern" -- Page [4] of cover.
