New York Apartment (2020)


New York Apartment combines the totality of New York real estate into a single listing, compiling assets from every single for-sale listing in New York City. The work includes hundreds of thousands of images, video tours, descriptive sentences, 3d structures generated from extruded floor plans, and a mortgage calculator.
