Author: Rafael Herrin-FerriIn this follow-up to 'All the Queen's Houses', green spaces varied and colourful as the façades featured in the original book introduce an organic, botanical element to the streetscape of the New York borough. Semi-formal lawns in the French and Italian traditions sit alongside improvised arbours of Chinese vegetable gardens, Caribbean flower gardens, brightly coloured Hindu courtyards, elaborate hand-crafted water features and countless other displays of idiosyncrasy and cultural diversity.Through its photographs and text, this book paints another portrait – softer and greener this time – of the dynamic and multicultural landscape that is Queens.ISBN 9783986122430.
