Author  New York Transit Museum, Photography by Andrew Garn Name  Subway Style: 100 Years of Architecture & Design in the New York City Subway Book Artist  New York Transit Museum (Author), Anthony Robins (Author), Andrew Garn (Author) Pages  252 Size  10 1/2 x 9 inches Item #  14404 Price  $40.00 About this item Produced with the New York City Transit Museum, Subway Style documents the aesthetic experience of the system through more than 250 exclusive pictures. The book includes newly commissioned color photographs of historic and contemporary station ornamentation as well as imagery from the Museum's archives. The images span the full century, from the system's inception in the early 1900s up to and including architectural renderings for the still-to-be-built Second Avenue line. Conceived over a century ago as a "great public work," the New York City subway system melded innovative engineering with stylish architecture and interior design. Today, the system is such an essential part of city life that it is easy to overlook the subways design features. "Subway Style: Architecture and Design in the New York City Subway" celebrates the rich architectural and design history of the subway, from its metalwork, lighting, and ceramics, to system and route maps and rolling stock.
