Description

City Works 5 is the fifth in a series of books which document the exciting work of students from The City College of New York Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture. The City College of New York has a long and important tradition of producing internationally recognized scholarship and research while maintaining its promise of an accessible public education for the city of New York. Through an emphasis on hand craft and digital fabrication, interdisciplinary research, and ecologically and culturally sustainable practices, SSA encourages a responsible engagement with the discipline of architecture, while cultivating rigorous exploration of new theories, materials and technologies. With three unique programs including Architecture, Urban Design and Landscape Architecture, the student work represented here reflects some of the most progressive ideas about how we inhabit both the natural and the built environment.
