Explore downtown New York with me, an NYC-based architect with two decades of experience living and working in the city, on a unique mixed reality walking tour. Together, we'll uncover the evolution of the skyscraper, diving into the stories behind iconic landmarks such as the Bankers Trust Building and the Liberty Tower. You'll learn how these structures shaped the city's zoning resolution, famously resulting in the "wedding cake" architectural profile.
As we stroll through changing neighborhoods—from Five Points and Newspaper Row to the modern Civic Center—you'll discover the variety of architectural styles that have defined New York's history. The tour also includes two immersive virtual reality experiences, offering a glimpse into what New York looked like at Wall Street and Five Points in years past. Join me for an engaging journey through the city's architectural transformation!
