Archtober 2013 New York – Week 4 Agenda

 

Archtober–New York City’s Architecture and Design Month–is starting!

The anticipated festival from Oct. 1-31, 2013 continues to grow with an amazing variety of exhibitions, conferences, films, tours, and other activities to celebrate the importance of architecture and design in everyday life.

Here’s a list of some exciting highlights from Archtober’s long event list that you should check out for Week 4, Oct. 25-31:

  • Great Design Then and Now | Oct. 25
    Join Marie Warsh, Central Park Conservancy’s Director of Preservation Planning, for an in-depth tour of Central Park’s north end, including visits to the woodland’s rustic bridges, recently reconstructed playgrounds, and other more modern additions, and a discussion of how these places reflect the larger evolution of recreation and urban park design.
  • Walking Tour: Terminal City: The Early Years | Oct. 26

Anticipated visits include: the Belmont mausoleum, the Woolworth family mausoleum, the mausoleum of Olive Thomas Pickford (the spirit that haunts Broadway’s New Amsterdam Theatre), and the Ruth Snyder memorial at Sing Sing Prison.

queens-library-discovery-centerTour time: 1-30-2:30 pm.
Completed under the auspices of the New York City Design and Construction Excellence program, the Children’s Library Discovery Center is a 22,000-square-foot, two-story addition to the existing Queens Central Library building. The glowing glass façade is a beacon in the surrounding community and is elemental in increasing the library’s visibility and reintroducing it as a central cultural and social destination.
  • Archtober Building of the Day: Sean Kelly Gallery | Oct. 31
    Tour Time: 12:00-1:00pm
    Pioneering a growing neighborhood of New York City, Sean Kelly Gallery is a 22,000 square foot exhibition space, one of the first in the rapidly developing community adjacent to Hudson Yards and the third extension of the High Line. The tour will be led by Hye-Young Chung of Toshiko Mori Architect.
