Meier and photographer Jason R. Woods have spent years charting New York's buildings for Blue Crow Media's map series, and this book extends that work into a fuller survey. Moving from the experimental postwar decades to the present, it sets celebrated landmarks—Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim, Eero Saarinen's TWA Flight Center, Marcel Breuer's former Whitney Museum—beside less-visited works such as the Church of the Crucifixion, Bronx Community College, the Spring Street Salt Shed and Battery Harris at Fort Tilden. Housing, churches, libraries, campuses and infrastructure appear alongside recent concrete buildings by Studio Gang, David Adjaye and Steven Holl, showing just how widely the material shaped the city. Printed on uncoated stock and accompanied by maps, the book works as both a reference and a companion for exploring New York on foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore than 50 buildings across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal photography by Jason R.
