Features: This book covers a vast number of architectural works. Rather than being a guidebook introducing a wide array of buildings, it is more of a specialized book on urban studies. Here, the Jacob Javits Convention Center by I.M. Pei stands side by side with the architectural facade of Stephen Hall's Art Museum, while skyscrapers are presented alongside coffee shops, office interiors, and urban factories. The book's table of contents includes: Introduction; Instructions for Use; Lower Manhattan; Tribeca and SoHo; West Village, Greenwich Village, and East Village; UN Plaza; Turtle Bay and Murray Hill; Theater and Garment District; Midtown; Upper East Side and Roosevelt Island; Central Park; Upper West Side; Morningside Heights and Harlem (African American neighborhood); The Bronx; Queens; Brooklyn; Light Structures.
Target Audience: Architects and general readers.
