Description

Codex New York presents a unique perspective on the city's urban typologies, revealing characteristics that often go unnoticed. Photographer Stanley Greenberg explores Manhattan's diverse features, from alleys to water infrastructure, and captures their striking and subtle forms.

Through his photographs, Greenberg organizes these elements into an idiosyncratic field guide, prompting new paths of inquiry about what makes a city tick. The book also serves as a temporal marker, documenting empty spaces that have since been built upon, offering a glimpse into the city's ever-changing landscape.

Joining the ranks of great photographic documents of the city, Codex New York offers a critical look at and investigation of New York's underlying structures, providing a fresh visual chronicle of its urban fabric.
