Drawing on the unparalleled collection of original designsfor Central Park in the New York City Municipal Archives, Cynthia S. Brenwall tells the story of the creation of NewYork^'s great public park, from its conception to its completion. This treasure trove of material ranges from the original winning competition entry; to meticulously detailed maps; to plans and elevations of buildings, some built, some unbuilt; to elegant designs for all kinds of fixtures needed in a world of gaslight and horses; to intricate engineering drawings of infrastructure elements.Much of it has never been published before. A virtual timemachine that takes the reader on a journey through the park as it was originally envisioned, ^'The Central Park^' is both a magnificent art book and a message from the pastabout what brilliant urban planning can do for a great city. | หัวเรื่อง |
