Tall and slim (much like a skyscraper...), NYRA naturally ‘reviews architecture in New York,’ featuring columns, essays, criticism and more, beginning with a particularly amusing Letters to the Editors section.
Smartly redesigned in 2022—its newsprint pages and slab serif typography Interview-esque—you’ll find plenty of visual character to go alongside the sharp writing (not least its rodent mascots).
In this bumper November/December, January/February, double edition, NYRA continues to stand out as a bastion of American journalism even as the political landscape surrounding it is once again uprooted. Essays include an overview of New York’s 20th century uber-planner Robert Moses; the story of the city’s underground population, the homeless people that found home in the tunnels and shafts below New York’s streets; and a strong critique of the new park spaces being built on New York’s waterfront.
