Columbia University in Pictures

Columbia University in Pictures by Lenny Pridatko. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780988669703.

Columbia Universitys first-ever architectural photography book, Columbia University in Pictures, is a collection of 150 stunning photographs showcasing Columbia Universitys campuses and the Morningside Heights community. Covering all seasons and times of day, this wide-ranging collection offers a refreshingly new perspective of New Yorks oldest University. Vivid photos capture the campuses elaborate architectural details and the text elucidates lesser-known facts about Columbia; (the main campus was a former insane asylum). Columbia University is one of New York Citys architectural jewels - on par with more familiar tourist attractions such as the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty - and the images in Columbia University in Pictures make this self-evident. Columbia University in Pictures has received ForeWord Reviews Bronze Book of the Year Award in Architecture and named a Photography Book Finalist. The title has also received the Printing Industries of America Certificate of Merit for achieving an extremely high level of quality in printing and design and was named Coffee Table Book of the Year by the Beverly Hills Book Awards.
