Add to basketHardback, Cloth, Perfect binding. 228 p. "All of us want to see Manhattan from above, but very few can do it from their own living room. Private Views is here to satisfy our incessant curiosity about a hidden elite world that we can only observe from outside, or occasionally, from an overpriced viewing point crowded with tourists. While posing as an apartment-hunting Hungarian billionaire, Andi Schmied accessed and documented Manhattan s most exclusive high-rise properties. For the duration of the project, she inhabited a fictional persona: Gabriella, a mother of one whose husband is an antique dealer. Dressing as Gabriella and acting as Gabriella, she prepared for the family s upcoming move to Manhattan by searching through listings of premium real estate agencies and requesting to view some of their most splendid properties. The book guides its readers through the sunset from Trump World Tower and dawn over Central Park from the private ballroom of the tallest residential tower on Earth, showcasing samples of the world s most luxurious materials, such as the Calacatta Tucci marble used in bathrooms overlooking the Empire State Building.'' Texts: Sara Emilia Bernat, f-architecture, Irena Lehko ivová, Ava Lynam, Peter Noever, Andi Schmied, Jack Self, Michael Sorkin, Samuel Stein, Barbora pi?áková, Anthony Vidler, Sharon Zukin. Hardback, Cloth, Perfect binding.
