High Line and West Village Architectural Tour
In this guided tour led by an architect, you’ll see some of the most interesting projects in NYC, focusing on the High Line and the West Village, including the Jim Kempner Gallery “Smith & Thompson”, a modern glass and steel structure housing contemporary master prints, drawings, paintings and sculpture, HL 23 “Neil Denari”, the High Line 519 building “Lindy Roy” and the London Terrace “Farrar & Watmaugh”. In case you didn’t know, the High Line is a 1.45-mile-long elevated linear park, greenway and rail trail on a former New York Central Railroad spur. We’ll visit the IAC by Frank Gehry and the gorgeous homes at 100 11th Ave by Jean Nouvel and De Della Valle Bernheimer. We’ll walk by the Chelsea Modern “Audrey Matlock”, the High Line Building by Morris Adjmi and the DVF Studios by WORK Architecture Co. The Standard Hotel by Todd Schliemann, Polshek Partnership and the High Line Administration Building by Piano and Blinder Belle are also featured on our tour, as is the Whitney Museum.
