<p>Updated and rephotographed edition of a massively successful book: the definitive reference to the city's contemporary architectural scene. Covering a diverse range of enormous- to diminutive-scale projects, this book is an urban study rather than just a building guide. The last ten years of post-urban architecture in New York have involved the infrastructure of the city. And with an energy found nowhere else, Manhattan is so vertically jam-packed that any single structure sends reverberations throughout its vicinity. So New York expands and contracts in large chunks, and this guide reveals pockets of change, gentrification and development: Bryant Park, Battery Park City, the future of 42nd Street and Times Square. All five boroughs and Roosevelt Island have been included. Complexes such as the Jacob Javits Convention Center by I.M. Pei are to be found side by side with Steven Holl's Storefront for Art and Architecture. Interiors as well as complete structures are covered. This book is probably the most comprehensive review available of recent architectural activity in New York. Written to appeal to both professionals and anyone interested in the built environment. 150 b/w photographs.</p>

The city of Bath sits in a bowl of hills at the southern tip of the Cotswolds. It was here that the Romans established their city of Aquae Sulis, and it was here too that eighteenth-century English society settled in the refined luxury of the architecture we now call Georgian. These are the elegant and dramatic squares, crescents, and terraces, built in solid golden local stone, that form Bath's core and that give this comparatively small city its international reputation. But Bath is not just a museum of a long-passed phenomenon. It is a living urban organism, of just the right size to live in. The Victorians and Edwardians built here, sometimes indecorously, and contemporary architects including Nicholas Grimsahw, Aaron Evans and the Smithsons have work worth visiting in or near the city. This guide covers all Bath's notable architecture and places it in the context of the social and economic forces that have shaped the city.
