Windows of New York

February 24, 2013 1:48 PM

The Windows of New York project is a weekly illustrated fix for an obsession that has increasingly grown in me since chance put me in this town. A product of countless steps of journey through the city streets, this is a collection of windows that somehow have caught my restless eye out from the never-ending buzz of the city. This project is part an ode to architecture and part a self-challenge to never stop looking up. By Jose Guizar. [Via].

I'd love to see this done for other cities or across cities. The windows of New Orleans, San Francisco, Paris, London, Madrid, Lisbon too.

Charming little gallery. I love the elegance, simplicity, color, and use of space.

Spoken like a true New Yorker! *I know more about New York than you do.*

I was expecting photos, and this was a nice surprise. Very minimal, yet intriguing.

Related-ish, City out My Window by Matteo Pericoli ... Previously-ish

Windows can become such memorable things. Also related-ish: I went to see a small art show the other day, and it featured a sad and calm and frustrating and beautiful video called Last Address, which showcases the exteriors of buildings that once housed artists who died of AIDS. All those blank windows, reflecting the sky.
