New York Chelsea and the High Line and Architecture Tour

In a city renowned as an international art hub, the West Village and Chelsea stand out as two of New York’s most architecturally and culturally vibrant communities. The lively area around Washington Square Park is home to the NYU campus and many of its remarkable buildings. Directly north of the West Village, the converted industrial warehouses and factories of Chelsea are now home to one of the world’s densest concentrations of galleries making this area a driving force in the art world. Specific examples that will be discussed include Washington Square Park, NYU buildings, the Whitney Museum, the Standard Hotel, the High Line, Hudson Yards, Javits Center, Penn Station, and more. This tour will award 4 AIA-CES credits for continuing education by the American institute of Architects.
