What: Among New York City's architects and building buffs, October is Archtober, or Architecture and Design Month. For 31 days, the city's
design community opens its doors for more than 100 tours, lectures,
films and celebrations, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the
buildings that give this metropolis its distinct character (including a
"building of the day" each and every day—last year, the Brooklyn Historical Society, original Shake Shack /venues/shake-shack and the Judd Foundation
were among the honorees). Participants typically include big-name
institutions like the Museum of Arts and Design, the Cooper-Hewitt, the
Guggenheim and the AIANY and its Center for Architecture.
