Zusammenfassung:A building boom swept New York City and its boroughs in the first decade of the twenty-first century, giving rise to a host of new and architecturally cutting-edge residential, corporate, institutional, academic, and commercial structures designed by starchitects and up-and-comers alike. Perfectly timed for touring the city's new skyline, this guideline visits and maps them all out, literally. A full-color visual guide, this essential walking companion showcases 200 of the most notable public buildings and spaces that have risen in New York City's five boroughs since the new millenium - the High Line, by James Corner Field Operations / Diller Scofidio + Renfro; 100 Eleventh Avenue, by Ateliers Jean Nouvel; the Brooklyn Children's Museum, by Rafael Viñoly Architects; 41 Cooper Square, by Morphosis; 15 Central Park West, by Robert A.M. Stern Architects; and One Bryant Park, by Cook + Fox - to name just a few. In addition, "New York City 2020" offers a peek at what's planned for the coming decade. Arranged by neighborhood, the guide allows for easy, self-guided tours, with more than 350 vibrant photos, 22 maps, subway and bus directions, and compelling anecdotes about each building's history, design, or construction. A guidebook that architecture lovers, tourists, and natives alike won't want to be without, here is your ticket to exploring the eclectic array of contemporary buildings that New York City has to offer.
