Building of the Day: Calder Gardens

Archtober is going on the road! Calder Gardens is located at 2100 Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia.

Calder Gardens builds on the legacy of Alexander Calder (1898–1976), one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Set within a landscape of more than 200 varieties of plants created by Piet Oudolf, the 18,000-square-foot building designed by Herzog & de Meuron features a series of Calder’s sculptures chosen for their responsiveness to the environment.

Archtober will not provide transportation for this tour. Attendees are responsible for getting themselves to and from Calder Gardens. 

Please note: this tour is accessible by wheelchair.

Architect: Herzog & de Meuron

Meeting location will be emailed to registered attendees the day before the tour.
