Closing Bell: Archtober Tours and Exhibits

Get your architecture, design and history fix for the next few weeks with Archtober, a month-long festival of architecture activities with tours and exhibits all over Brooklyn. BLDG 92 at the Navy Yard is offering bike tours on the Yard’s sustainable architecture and industry, as well as walking tours of the complex’s more industrial tenants, such as metalworkers and recycled glass countertop makers.

The American Architecture Institute (AIA) will also lead tours of Navy Green, an affordable housing development in Clinton Hill, Kings County Distillery and the Brooklyn Army Terminal, above. And you can explore Stuyvesant Heights, Cobble Hill and Gowanus with the knowledgeable tour guides from the Municipal Arts Society. Look through the whole schedule on Archtober’s website.
