Architecture City Walks
Offering a fascinating lens through which to view the featured metropolis, these Architecture City Walk cards make insightful and delightful tour guides for visitors to—or residents of—New York or Paris. Each neatly boxed set features twenty-five foldout cards, each of which details a concise walking tour centered on a specific architectural theme. In Paris, for example, you may want to compare buildings from the medieval period, explore the nineteenth-century arcades of the city, or view the controversial results of Georges Pompidou’s modernization efforts. New York’s guided strolls include a walk through the historic brownstones of Brooklyn, a visit through the natural and man-made marvels of Central Park, and a tour through the lower Manhattan skyscraper boom of the early 1900s. Along with the detailed directions and historical information, each card features a photograph of one of the sites on the tour, and a map of your route. And the cards are only 5½"x3½", so you can slip one in your pocket or purse, put on your walking shoes, and embark on an architectural exploration!
