For Weiss/Manfredi’s International Retreat – a conference center for international organizations to discuss issues and politics –  the project exemplifies the firm’s emphasis of the integration of architecture and landscape.  A series of existing early 20^th-century buildings sit on the 400 acre site, and the project uses a network of gardens to create a framework for these renovated and programmatically transformed structures.

More images and more about the project after the break.
