Each year the festival selects a theme and for 2026 it is In Our Hands. This idea invites participants to embrace community and optimism in the face of myriad challenges including climate change, rapidly evolving artificial intelligence, and divisive policies. The festival’s programming highlights a collective desire for sensorial, inclusive design, handcrafted practices, and resilient structures, reminding us that as architects, designers, and citizens, the future, after all, is In Our Hands. <\/p>\n

Every event is categorized into one of five topics:\u00a0Nature, Media, Culture, History, and Education. To kick off the month of events, the Center for Architecture will introduce three exhibitions on October 1st: Humanist Modernity, Why Design?, and Dark Matter U: Justice, Pedagogy, Design. <\/p>\n

Throughout the month you can also explore the city’s architecture and design through experiences like a narrated boat tour<\/a>, a zine-making workshop<\/a> that celebrates trees, opening night of the Architecture & Design Film Festival<\/a>, or a walking tour of historic hotels<\/a>. This year the festival extends beyond the city with a chance to explore Storm King Art Center<\/a>, take a hard hat tour<\/a> of a major adaptive reuse project in Newburgh, or join a hands-on historic preservation workshop with Hudson Valley House Parts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Architecture Archtober, NYC\u2019s architecture and design month and an annual festival of architecture activities, programs and exhibitions, starts…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,24,55,54,56],"class_list":["post-357951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
