It's almost that time of the year again: Archtober, New York City's month-long festival of architecture & design, is quickly approaching, and there's so much to do. Now in its eight year, the 2018 edition boasts a full calendar of activities, programs, and exhibitions from October 1st through 31st, and—as in previous years—exclusive tours and events at more than 30 Buildings of the Day. Registering early is recommended—many events sell out fast.
Take a look at the full Building of the Day list below and use Archinect's handy interactive map to easily locate each building.

Cool map, one correction: the boathouse is at 10 montague street on Pier 5, not Pier 2!
Thanks for catching that Aro User! Google Maps only offered an entry for the older boathouse at Pier 2, but we've now moved it to the correct location at 10 Montague.
