Crazy Quilt Queens
10.1002/ad.131.abs
Spreading out over almost 120 square miles on the northwest corner of Long Island, across the East River from Manhattan, Queens is physically the largest borough in the City of New York, and the second most populous and most ethnically diverse county in the us. Its 2.2 million residents come from 81 different countries, and nearly half are foreign‐born. Writer Jayne Merkel and photographer Julian Olivas describe the architectural diversity of Queens ‐ a combination in which architectural and ethnic characteristics rarely coincide. Most of the borough's residents and institutions occupy structures built by those that came before them. Queens is in almost perpetual flux. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
