Architecture is war! Sleepless nights, self-doubt, lack of time, and rising demands on all fronts are commonplace in this field. Success and failure constantly collide in the quest to build better environments. These struggles can hinder creative flow and progress, but there is a crucial tool that combats such a violent adversary.

Enter methodology, a weapon of action and a useful tool in curtailing certain creative collapse. As a fierce force against the horrors of procrastination, methodology yields answers out of probing investigations. Always a constructive agent, it is manifested through a multitude of visual media, as depicted in this book. While the war rages on, these selected drawings, diagrams, renderings, models, and paintings, are each token personal examples of the combative power of methodology....

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 Colle-

ge 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 de-

sign. 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.
