Biography
He was born in 1954 in the USA. In his work we can find a huge feature, a density consideration, free from any architectural aconuitedness or the illusion of architectural greatress.

As it was stated by Robert G.Loeffler, this 1983’s work – presents mainly a solid lintel born by thin columns refers to the Japanese ideogram for “architecture” but Weinberg’s works are architectonic than architectural, their monumentality completely immanent.
