Publisher Description:
This architectural guide brings together 100 of the most original structures built in New York City since 1999. Vladimir Belogolovsky pairs them with such nicknames as Guillotine, Peacock, Shark?s Fin, Turtle Shell, and Woodpecker. The New York-based author?s selection covers buildings realized by the world?s most renowned architects, in a period when their creations were celebrated as art, and personal styles were encouraged by the Âmedia, critics, and clients.
The featured time span begins with the rise of the starchitect in the late 1990s, and ends in the present day. But the mission of the book is not only to document; it is also to celebrate New York?s transformative Âenergy.
