For the first time in many years, New York’s most exciting buildings are also its most recent. This illustrated talk brings together the 101 best New York buildings of the past ten years, and features such internationally famous architects as Frank Gehry, Richard Meier, Renzo Piano, Michael Graves, Jean Nouvel, Steven Holl, James Stewart Polshek, Bernard Tschumi, Rafael Viñoly, Aldo Rossi, Cesar Pelli, and Christian de Portzamparc as well as many highlighted buildings that have been designed by exceptionally talented local architects, who labor in relative obscurity.
