 So What Can We Do Today? Nov 14, 2009
For students of architecture, for those who want to get to know your city better while seeing some 'cool' buildings, for those who just need something to do and for the traveler interested in the architecture of another country, this book has the pictures to whet the appetite, a brief description and travel instructions.
"101 Cool Buildings: the best of New York City architecture 1999-2009" is worth buying if you go no further than just flipping through to get a taste of architecture in NYC and its boroughs.

Built My Trip Around this Book Sep 12, 2009
As an architect on the opposite coast, I was looking for a convenient way to track down new building trends in New York City. Recently, I spent 3 days in Manhattan visiting 43 of the buildings in this book. I appreciate that in the back of the book there is a (very basic) map showing the relative location of each building, making it easier to chart an efficient path between projects. I found the author's critques insightful, causing me to observe design features that might have gone unnoticed. My only criticism of the book is the black and white format. A few of the projects, that from the photos didn't seem to be anything special, turned out to be truly spectacular in-person and in full-color. I hope I'll find a similar gem when I book my trip to Chicago.

An interesting read; makes me want to visit NYC. Sep 02, 2009
This is an interesting book. It is nicely organized for someone even somewhat familiar with NYC and wanting to see some things off the beaten path.
The pictures add information to the text.
