All The Queens Houses
An Architectural Portrait of New York’s Largest and Most Diverse Borough
Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)
The borough of Queens has long been celebrated as the melting pot of
America. It was the birthplace of North American religious freedom in
the seventeenth century, hosted two World’s Fairs in the twentieth, and
is currently home to over a million foreign-born residents participating in
the American experience. In 2013, Spanish-born artist and architect Rafael
Herrin-Ferri began to paint a portrait of the “World’s Borough”—not with
images of its diverse population, or its celebrated international food scene,
but with photographs of its highly idiosyncratic housing stock.
While All the Queens Houses is mainly a photography book celebrating the
broad range of housing styles in New York City’s largest and most diverse
county, it is also a not-so-subtle endorsement of a multicultural community
that mixes global building traditions into the American vernacular, and by so
doing breathes new life into its architecture and surrounding urban context.weiterlesen
