Architecture of Trees (Family Program)

What’s tall, loved by New Yorkers, and full of life? Sure, skyscrapers are all those things, but so are trees! Architects spend years designing the skyscrapers, but trees have been perfecting their own architecture in response to the environment for eons. On a guided walk through Battery Park City we’ll observe and draw the trees around us and understand some ways they are like skyscrapers, from their roots to their leaves.
