ABOUT 'NYC ARCHITECTURE'
The
NYC Architecture website is
produced by Tom Fletcher, who also publishes the
Essential Architecture
website describing 1000 places to see before you die. Tom Fletcher is an
Australian architect who works in New York, and lives in Brooklyn with his wife
and two sons. He declares himself to be in love with his wonderful wife and with
the wonderful fin de siecle architecture of New York City. He says he can be
seen wandering the cold streets, camera eagerly clutched between his fat grubby
fingers, a look of joy on his chubby ugly mug.
The NYC Architecture website is divided into sections covering the following
parts of Manhattan: Lower Manhattan, Seaport, Lower East Side, Soho, Greenwich
Village, Chelsea, Gramercy Park, Midtown, Central Park, Upper East Side, Upper
West Side, and Harlem. There is also a section covering Brooklyn. Other sections
cover: Galleries & Notes, Walking Tours, Postcards, and Links.
The NYC Architecture website contains an article on the Chrysler Building,
profusely illustrated with high resolution contemporary and historic images.
