NYC Walks: Guide to New Architecture Reviews

A Library Journal Starred Review

"In his account of each walk and structure, Hill writes not only of the architectural and construction detail of each building but also blends the history of the sites and the city with fascinating tidbits on the machinations of government and the planning process. The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs of many of the structures by Bendov." Library Journal

"A great reference for locals as well as for visitors curious about the citys changing neighborhoods." Architectural Record

"There is no shortage of architectural guidebooks on New York City, but the bulk of these are confined to historic buildings. John Hills new volume is among the few that looks to the present, charting a panorama of 150 contemporary buildings that span nearly every typology, from office skyscraper to municipal salt shed."Metropolis
