New York Architecture : Buildings

Guide to NYC Property Developments / Architects, USA

Manhattan Building Guide New York is famous for tall architecture - skyscrapers - but also cultural buildings such as the Guggenheim and MoMA. Of all the cities in the United States of America, New York has more quality architecture and many of its buildings feature in the key histories of World Architecture. Famous architects that achieved major architecture works here include Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe. Manhattan is based on a grid, with many interesting buildings by famous architects. New York Architecture ; Brooklyn Bridge ; Manhattan skyscrapers - photos © Tim Collins We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Manhattan Building Designs. We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both. We cover completed Manhattan buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and NYC architecture competitions across New York City. The focus is on contemporary New York buildings but information on traditional New York City buildings is also welcome. We have 7 pages of Manhattan Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.
