Our Must-Do Picks for Archtober 2018 Week 2 (Oct. 9–15)

By Alexander Walter|

Wednesday, Oct 3, 2018

That's one big apple.

Archtober 2018 successfully commenced on Monday, and for the entire month of October, New Yorkers get to enjoy a host of architecture-centered exhibitions, lectures, workshops, talks, conferences, film screenings, and tours across the five boroughs.

For the eighth year in a row, Archinect & Bustler are proud to partner with Archtober and present you our weekly highlights from an eclectic calendar of events. Below are our recommendations for Archtober Week 2, October 9–15.

Having trouble locating the over 30 Buildings of the Day? Use Archinect's handy interactive map to easily spot them, especially while on the go.
