New York's architecture has always captured the world’s imagination and, in the wake of the World Trade Centre tragedy, there has been a powerful surge of interest in rebuilding and celebrating New York’s architectural heritage.
In over 350 pages and nearly 400 photographs, this superbly illustrated volume presents and analyses the top fifty buildings and interiors from recent times, among them projects by a Who’s Who of famous architects, including Rem Koolhaas, Gwathmey Siegel, Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, Frank Gehry and Philippe Starck.
Among the featured projects are:
• The Prada Store – Rem Koolhaas
• The Planetarium at the Smithsonian Institute’s Museum of Natural History – James Polshek
• The 42nd Street Redevelopment Project – Arquitectonica and KPF
• The Hudson Hotel and The Paramount Hotel – Philippe Starck
• The New York Times Headquarters – Renzo Piano
• Eyebeam – Diller and Scofidio
