It might seem a little strange, but Windows of New York is actually one of the more complex homages to the Big Apple. Architecture is one of the most important aspects of the city and this collection of illustrations helps to draw (literally) a little attention to the windows of each avenue.
The project encourages native New Yorkers and visitors to look up and admire the architectural achievements that can be found on every single street in the city. Windows often serve as the eyes of a building and architects often use ornate detail to help highlight and catch the attention of passer-byers.
The entire Windows of New York project is created by graphic illustrator Jose Guizar, so head on over to his personal website or the Windows of New York site to view the entire collection of his works.
