Next month kicks off the start of Archtober, the annual month-long celebration of architecture and design in New York organized by the Center for Architecture. Every year, Archtober explores and showcases design in NYC?s five boroughs through a series of activities, tours, talks, exhibitions, resources and more, and this year will be no different. To ensure the safety of all design aficionados, the Center for Architecture has organized online-only talks and tours, DIY-style resources and self-led activities, and socially distanced in-person programs.
