Through collaborations with hundreds of partners, Archtober presents tours, lectures, workshops, panels, exhibitions, and more that are accessible to all.
Explore things to doSince 2011, the Center for Architecture has worked with some of the most talented graphic design firms in New York City to craft an identity for the Archtober festival that year. With Pentagram's original design for the Archtober logo, every year is a new adventure!
In 2003, the American Institute of Architects New York (AIANY) opened the Center for Architecture and Open House New York (OHNY) was founded, laying the foundations for Archtober. For the next seven years, AIANY hosted Architecture Week, which took place in the second week of October, and concluded with OHNY Weekend. In 2010, the Architecture & Design Film Festival hosted its first New York event immediately following OHNY Weekend.
Architecture Week grew into a month-long celebration, Archtober, in 2011, bringing together a growing collective of local and national architecture and design organizations to further celebrate the importance of architecture and design in New York City and beyond. Since 2011, the Center for Architecture has hosted Building of the Day tours of notable contemporary and history buildings led by architects.
