The ship was excellent, clean and we'll appointed. Wait staff was friendly and courteous. Architecture guide was superficial and limited in what he commented upon. With such a rich environment of architecture that deserved comment he let me down.
Great facilities and an excellent camp opportunity for young aspiring architects.
The center for Archirecture was a very nice place. Unfortunately one of the employee was very rude and disrespectful and the rest was no where to be found. I had never been in an establishment where there wasn't any associates around to assist me if I needed any help (bottom floor). I saw some supplies down the stairs and thought they were available for everyone to use. My daughter and I started to grab some to start building. After I waited for about 10 minutes waiting to see if anyone would come to give assistance. NO ONE CAME. A few minutes later a group of kids came down the stairs. I simple tried to explain to the employee that I was looking for someone to see if they would help us but I could not find anyone. He started getting his attitude. Told me to put the supplies back and that I would have to leave. WE WHERE THERE FIRST! he could have easily just said he would move us to the back and when we where finish we could leave quietly. I really wish someone was there to tell us we couldn't use it before me and my daughter started grabbing things. Could have saved me a huge embarrassment in front of the class. Overall my 3 year old daughter had a good time and he did suggest that they have family event for building on Saturday( that is why I bumped it up to three stars)
Very unique museum that keeps you interested the whole time. Has a variety of things also pertaining to architecture
I stop by at least once a month. This is not only a crucial venue for architects and others in the broader world of construction, it is open to the public at no charge for its varied exhibits. Their seminars and lectures often come at a nominal cost to the general public, but they usually make up for it with a light smorgasbord of snacks and beverages. The storefront exposure makes it especially welcoming.
Has wonderful summer minicamp sessions for kids in grade school and high school. Interesting and highly educational
The center has great exhibitions and events that are often free to the public. Pictured here was an exhibit entitled the Architecture of Hip Hop.
Very unique venue with curated presentation materials from multi-disciplinary architectural firms. I attended a few keynote presentations during a seminar day for a software I was interested in and was very happy with the event. There is a large auditorium downstairs with a mid-level balcony overlooking the space.
i can t speak too highly of this activity. A marvellous boat, attentive and engaging crew and our narrator, John Arbuckle, holds an incredible amount of architectural and historical information which he recounts over the duration of the cruise. I saw and learned so much! My friend is an architect and this was her first visit to NYC. I d venture to suggest few other activities could inform and amaze a visitor to NYC. It s also a photographer s dream....I spent almost the whole time in the bow seating area getting amazing shots. I can t recommend more highly.
Great tour. The guide, John, was great. The entire tour was a real treat.
