Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Every great city has its own palette of textores, forms, and other graphic elements that distinguish it from any other place on earth. Graphiscape is a series dedicated to cataloging those elements -- a sourcebook of the graphic components native to each city. Every volume contains over 450 images, capturing the range of colors, fires, and shanes that create the urban landscape. From work-a-day municipal signage that helps the city function to wildly evocative graffiti and street art Graphiscape: New York City takes us on a graphic tour from Harlem to Queens, Wall Street to Times Sqvare, Brocklyn to the West Village.
