Archtober Turns 10 With Hybrid In-Person/Virtual Festival Organized by the Center for Architecture in collaboration with 70 partners and sponsors, the 2020 installment of the festival gathers events, exhibitions, resources, and activities that highlight the importance of architecture and design. As Archtober’s partners respond to the ever-changing landscape of COVID-19 New York City, they have deftly adapted their programming to continue to provide cultural and educational enrichment while ensuring the health and safety of all. As such, this year’s festival will feature online-only talks and tours, DIY-style resources and self-led activities, and safe and socially distanced in-person programs.

The AIANY Cultural Facilities Committee presents its annual lecture on excellence in museum design, this year featuring Elizabeth Diller of Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R).
