Unboxing New York

In a city like New York, dominated by regulations and defined by a strong post-crisis development boom, the architect is bound by conventions and prescribed parameters. Code, market, and zoning are words as common in the architect?s vocabulary as context, proportion and light. Consequently, the architect?s power has been pushed away from the fundamental qualities of living, towards more decoration. This book investigates these architecture topics to recover the power to design with quality of life as the number one factor. In a bind-up of five smaller books with a wide variety of short articles, research pieces, and an analysis of key facets of residential projects by ODA, 'Unboxing New York' presents the realities of the profession and lays out an accessible and engaging roadmap to working within a highly regulated large metropolis like New York to create valuable additions to urban life.
