New York Architecture Week



New York Architecture Week boasts its own unique style. This years design extravaganza documented a detailed snapshot of New York's architectural history.
Context/Contrast, was the focus of this year’s main show. It focuses on exploring the coexistence of old and new and uses five of New York’s historic districts as case studies, in order to look deeper into the city’s inherent diversity and its future architectural landscape.
The show, curated by architectural historian Rachel Carley and presented by the New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation, looks at Brooklyn Heights, Upper East Side, SoHo, South Street Seaport and Douglastown from 1967 to the present day.
