First Edition of Greg Goldin and Sam Lubell's Never Built New York; Signed by Architect Zaha Hadid
First edition of this acclaimed visual history of the New York that might have been, gathering the grand and visionary architectural projects proposed for the city over more than a century and never realized. Oblong quarto, original pictorial boards, richly illustrated with plans, renderings, and models for hundreds of unbuilt schemes across the five boroughs. Boldly signed on the contents page by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid in Miami, who is featured in this work. In fine condition. Written by Greg Goldin and Sam Lubell. Foreword by the architect Daniel Libeskind. A handsome signed copy of this celebrated architectural survey.
Never Built New York (2016) is a companion to the authors’ earlier Never Built Los Angeles and presents the vast archive of ambitious architectural and planning projects proposed for New York City over more than a century and never realized. Written by the critics Greg Goldin and Sam Lubell with a foreword by the architect Daniel Libeskind, the book brings together visionary and often fantastical designs by figures such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Buckminster Fuller, I.M. Pei, and Zaha Hadid, offering a portrait of the city as it might have been. Organized by borough and region, it is a celebrated work of architectural history and speculation.
