Description

Touted by Publisher’s Weekly as “an unprecedented record,” the brand new book within the New York series, New York 2000, is indeed an exceptional survey of this great city’s architectural heritage. As the world’s financial and cultural capital, New York demands the most efficient in architectural design and balances the constant pressure to build with the wish to preserve its historic fabric.

Author Robert A. M. Stern and his colleagues trace the upward thrust and fall of the true estate market, the have an effect on of the designation of historic districts and new zoning on development, and the emergence of new commercial and residential centers. The survey is organized geographically, moving north from Lower Manhattan and covering the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island as well.

New York 2000 documents milestones within the city’s architectural history during the last forty years—the development of Battery Park City, the rebirth of Harlem and Times Square, the creation of the cultural precinct across the new MoMA, and the reclaiming of the waterfront along the East and Hudson Rivers as recreational parkland—and celebrates the achievements of across the world recognized architects such as Sir Norman Foster, Cesar Pelli, Richard Meier, and Renzo Piano.
