City Works 7 is the seventh annual book which documents the exciting work of students from The City College of New York, Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture. The City College of New York has a long and important tradition of producing internationally recognized scholarship, research and design while maintaining its promise of an accessible public education in the city of New York. Our Bachelor of Architecture Program and four graduate level programs including Master of Architecture, Master of Landscape Architecture, Master of Urban Design and Master of Sustainability in the Urban Environment work together across disciplinary boundaries with the shared goal of making New York and the world a better place through smart and responsible design. The heterogeneous nature of the student work displayed here represents an individual approach to problem solving, which seeks to rise above stylistic or instrumental debates within the profession and toward integrative solutions to some of today's most pressing design challenges.
