I lived in the States for two years from 2013-2015. Having caught the architecture bug in Tokyo before, I set out to explore the places I lived in and traveled to with an eye for important buildings and their stories.

There is probably no better place in the world to satisfy these passions than New York. During countless rectilinear walks, I tried to get an understanding of the postwar period and modernist architecture here. I did so from our base in Harlem, which then became the blog’s mainstay for a while.
