"The borough of Queens has long been celebrated as the melting pot of America. Over a million foreign-born residents call it home, yet its houses are relatively unknown. Starting in 2013, Spanish-born architect and artist Rafael Herrin-Ferri made these buildings the subject of a block-by-block photo survey project that concluded seven years later in 2020. This first comprehensive publication features over two-hundred images of highly idiosyncratic residential structures that characterize the global building aesthetic of Queens. Frontal, New Objective-style house portraits are accompanied by interpretive texts revealing a colorful history of alterations and architectural references, while full page details shots and street perspectives reflect on the 'World's Borough' from a more personal and pedestrian point of view" -- Page [4] of cover.
