Unboxing New York, ODA
Unboxing New York offers a compelling look at the challenges and opportunities architects face in shaping New York City’s dynamic landscape. Through 50 concise essays paired with vivid diagrams and photo essays, ODA reflects on a decade of bold architectural experimentation. The book examines how regulations, market demands, and time constraints influence design decisions, often overshadowing qualities essential to urban living like light, space, and community.
Structured as a collection of five smaller books, Unboxing New York explores the evolving forces that have transformed the city since 2010. It unpacks the creative strategies ODA employs to challenge conventional approaches, offering an optimistic blueprint for enhancing urban life in a dense, highly regulated environment. With over 50 projects spanning 50 square miles, ODA’s prolific experience provides valuable insights into designing as-of-right buildings that balance innovation with practicality.
This richly illustrated volume is both a behind-the-scenes study of New York’s architectural transformation and an inspiring guide for reimagining urban design. Unboxing New York reclaims architecture’s potential to prioritize quality of life, offering a vision of a city that works better for its people.
