Architecture for Animals

Animals are skillful architects—from beehives to birds’ nests, animals create spaces best fit for their needs. But now, they’re moving into the big city! We will dive into the relationship between architects and their clients, as kids choose their favorite animal and design an apartment based on its needs! Does a giraffe need an apartment with tall ceilings? Kids will use their imaginations to design homes for animal families (like an urban Noah's Arc!) while considering accessibility, health, and views. Recommended for ages 4-8.

This is an in-person children’s program that meets at the Skyscraper Museum, 39 Battery Pl.

You must reserve a place for your child/family by clicking the “RSVP” button above. This will forward you to Eventbrite for registration. After registering, you will receive emails to confirm your attendance through a Google Form (you only need to fill this out once). If you do not confirm attendance by the Friday morning before the program, your places will be canceled. Every child should be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Family programs are free! Reservation priority is given to The Skyscraper Museum members. Want to become a member? Fall programs are supported by a Community Partnership with the Battery Park City Authority.
