Cite 48

Editor’s Note

Alex S. MacLean's overhead photographs of Houston, featured in the following pages, were taken last October at the invitation of Cite and the Rico Design Alliance. For two weeks, MacLean criss-crossed through mostly sunny skies above Houston, shooting more than 1,500 photographs from the vantage point of his 1967 single-engine airplane. These photographs present a remarkably beautiful portrait of the city and its environs, one that is both abstractly rich, like a modern painting, and at the same time filled with critical content.
