Moving through all five boroughs, neighborhood by neighborhood, it offers the most complete overview of New York's significant places, past and present. The Fifth Edition continues to include places of historical importance--including extensive coverage of the World Trade Center site--while also taking full account of the construction boom of the past 10 years, a boom that has given rise to an unprecedented number of new buildings by such architects as Frank Gehry, Norman Foster, and Renzo Piano. All of the buildings included in the Fourth Edition have been revisited and re-photographed and much of the commentary has been re-written, and coverage of the outer boroughs--particularly Brooklyn--has been expanded.\u003cbr\u003eFamed skyscrapers and historic landmarks are detailed, but so, too, are firehouses, parks, churches, parking garages, monuments, and bridges. Boasting more than 3000 new photographs, 100 enhanced maps, and thousands of short and spirited entries, the guide is arranged geographically by borough, with each borough divided into sectors and then into neighborhood. Extensive commentaries describe the character of the divisions.\u003cbr\u003eKnowledgeable, playful, and beautifully illustrated, here is the ultimate guided tour of New York's architectural treasures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram Content Group - Mixed Vendors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555650998329,"sku":"210000002950","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/0872\/9145\/files\/317trt1t49l-sy445-sx342.jpg?v=1790279661","url":"https:\/\/shop.icp.org\/products\/aia-guide-to-new-york-city","provider":"International Center of Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
