New York City is a metropolis in a constant state of metamorphosis.
Amidst continuous construction, the redevelopment of the existing
cityscape plays a fundamental role in the evolution of the Big Apple as a
place to live, work, and visit. This pocket guide to highlights of
modern and contemporary architecture features 85 famous skyscrapers,
cutting-edge projects with abandoned infrastructure, post-industrial
buildings, and inventive low-cost housing models. Each building is
accompanied by text describing its history, use, materials, and
architectural profile, in addition to directions, and public
accessibility.
