Iconic buildings and landmarks appear, but also the compelling geometries of suburban housing developments, apartment complexes, commercial hubs, entertainment and financial centres, as well as airports and shipping terminals. His work combines architecture, science, and art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing high-resolution cameras mounted to a stabilising gyro, Milstein leans out of helicopters over Los Angeles where he grew up and over New York where he now lives, looking for shapes and patterns of culture from above, continually awed by the difference between the aerial view and the view on the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis topologist's interest emphasises the abstraction of pattern and reveals aspects of urban design and planning of both cities. In addition to the urban topography, certain events and activities have also been captured, such as the Macy's Day Parade and outings at the beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362761982188,"sku":"9780500544891","price":48.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5269773482366.jpg?v=1772900302","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/la-ny-9780500544891","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
