La ville de New York abrite plus de 90 000 bâtiments, des entrepôts aux maisons de ville en passant par les gigantesques gratte-ciel, tous aussi variés que celles et ceux qui les habitent. De l'immeuble classé à la curiosité architecturale ou à l'humble construction utilitaire, mille d'entre eux sont pour la première fois photographiés avec talent et célébrés avec bonheur. Le photographe Jorg Brockmann a su capter la puissance et l'essence de chaque bâtiment tout en nous apportant un regard nouveau sur la ville.
