Metropolis Books

Metropolis Books was founded by Sharon Helgason Gallagher, the director of ARTBOOK | D.A.P., and Horace Havemayer III, the noted publisher of Metropolis Magazine. Recognized for publishing thought-provoking, useful, and beautiful books on contemporary issues in architecture, urbanism, preservation, interior design, product design, and landscape architecture, particularly as these relate to the sustainable, natural environment and evolving technologies, the imprint ran under the editorial leadership of Diana Murphy through 2016. Notable titles have included Design Like You Give a Damn, Never Built New York, Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies, Cape Cod Modernism, Fire Island Modernist: Horace Gifford and the Architecture of Seduction, and Vishaan Chakrabarti’s A Country of Cities. The imprint is not accepting new submissions, though many of its classic titles remain in print.
