World-renowned bestselling photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand--shooting from vantage points few people ever attain--presents the power and beauty of Manhattan's amazing skyscrapers, the bucolic joys of Central Park, the majesty of the Upper West Side's castle--like apartment buildings, and much, much more.
This large-format volume presents sweeping aerial photographs that reframe the familiar skyline as an intricate built landscape--geometry, light, and density revealed at once from a high vantage point
Alongside the photography, New York historian and cartographer John Tauranac provides contextual commentary that guides readers through the city's architecture and evolution from an aerial perspective.
New York from the Air: A Story of Architecture offers an immersive tour for architecture enthusiasts, photography lovers, and anyone drawn to New York's built environment--designed to be revisited for discovery and detail.
No one has revealed New York from above as vividly as Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Transforms even the most ordinary street-level scenes into majestic, abstract cityscapes. --New York Times
New York from the Air hits new heights with fresh photos of an ever-evolving city. --New York Daily News
