Architecture and Design
New York City is not a community but rather an interconnected mosaic of communities and of the variety of styles inherent therein. The city boasts a diverse landscape with architectural and design styles ranging from modern, sleek, and streamlined skyscrapers and luxury high-rises to stone- and brick-constructed brownstones and row houses. With so many options, you’ll need help choosing the right aesthetic for you. Architecture reflects the different eras of New York City history and its myriad influences, from the neoclassical style of the late Eighteenth to mid-Nineteenth Century, distinguished by its colonnades and arches, to the French-inspired art deco style that proliferated between 1925 and 1940 – the most famous such edifice being the Empire State Building – to the postmodern era, which can range from historically influenced structures to wilder, more unconventional designs. New York is perhaps best known for the soaring skyscrapers of its skyline, which is recognizable around the world, but residential neighborhoods in the city can vary greatly from this standard. You can take advantage of the rich cultural history of the Big Apple and find a style of housing to match your tastes. To appreciate the art of this bustling city, sometimes all you have to do is go outside and look up. POLSHEK PARTNERSHIP ARCHITECTS COOK + FOX ARCHITECTS |
