Free Online Guide to New York Architecture

You can learn a lot about architecture by looking at photos, but nothing takes the place of seeing the real thing. That's why the best architecture courses emphasize site visits, with ample time to study details up close and from many perspectives. My top pick? New York University's Architecture in New York - A Field Study.

The class is over now, but the complete guide is posted on the school Web site, complete with details from all 13 walking tours, suggested reading, and other resources.
