Description This Architectural Guide brings together 100 of the most original structures built in New York City since 1999.
Through witty, incisive commentary, catchy nick-names, and quotes from the author\'s interviews with the architects, this singular Guide allows readers to see many of New York\'s contemporary icons in a new way..
Many of the Buildings were designed either by foreign architects or those who settled in the city and now call it home.
But the mission of the book is not only to document; it is also to celebrate New York\'s transformative energy.
The featured time span begins with the rise of the starchitect in the late 1990s, and ends in the present day.
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 media, critics, and clients.
Vladimir Belogolovsky pairs them with such nicknames as Guillotine, Peacock, Shark\'s Fin, Turtle Shell, and Woodpecker.
