New York 2000: Architecture and Urbanism from the Bicentennial to the Millennium
by Robert A. M. Stern, David Fishman and Jacob Tilove
Rave reviews of this tome about my favorite city-- in the Financial Times and elsewhere, point to a great architecture must-read.
"New York 2000 documents milestones in the city's architectural history over the past forty years—the development of Battery Park City, the rebirth of Harlem and Times Square, the creation of the cultural precinct around the new MoMA, and the reclaiming of the waterfront along the East and Hudson Rivers as recreational parkland—and celebrates the achievements of internationally recognized architects such as Sir Norman Foster, Cesar Pelli, Richard Meier, and Renzo Piano."
At 1,300 pages, not your usual Summertime fluff--but not something you'll quickly "fugedabout."
The Monacelli Press is the Publisher. Sold via better bookstores everywhere and online at: New York 2000: Architecture and Urbanism from the Bicentennial to the Millennium (New York)
