City Works 4 is the fourth in a series of books that document the
exciting work of students from The City College of New York Bernard and
Anne Spitzer School of Architecture. The City College of New York has a
long and important tradition of producing internationally recognized
scholarship and research while maintaining its promise of an accessible
public education for the city of New York. Through an emphasis on hand
craft and digital fabrication, interdisciplinary research, and
ecologically and culturally sustainable practices, SSA encourages a
responsible engagement with the discipline of architecture, while
cultivating rigorous exploration of new theories, materials and
technologies. With three unique programs including Architecture, Urban
Design and Landscape Architecture, the student work represented here
reflects some of the most progressive ideas about how we inhabit both
the natural and the built environment.
