"Each day in October, a different building in New York City will open its doors to curious visitors interested in learning more about our urban architecture. Through the annual Building of the Day program presented by Archtober, a month-long celebration of NYC architecture and design, the public can step inside the city's newest, most iconic, and most unique spaces for architect-led walking tours."
"Louise Nevelson's Chapel of the Good Shepherd is a unique, comprehensive sculptural environment at Saint Peter's Church. Nevelson was instrumental in the conception and introduction of the form, which "sought to break down the historical dichotomy between life and art." Following years of restoration and necessary improvements to the environment, hear how Nevelson Chapel, a beloved New York City treasure, will be cared for now and for future generations."
Archtober presents a month-long Building of the Day program that opens a different New York City building each day in October for architect-led walking tours. Tours are presented by the Center for Architecture and showcase the city's newest, most iconic, and most unique spaces, including restored historic sites and contemporary projects. Building of the Day tours often sell out quickly, and advance booking is recommended. Example offerings include a tour of Louise Nevelson's Chapel of the Good Shepherd at Saint Peter's Church (Oct. 1, 12:00–1:15 pm, $15, wheelchair accessible) and a renovated A.A. Thomson & Co. warehouse at the South Street Seaport Museum (Oct. 2). The program highlights restoration, adaptive reuse, and public engagement with architecture.
