Brutalism: Ugly or Cool?

Brutalism: Ugly or Cool?  Brutalism was a popular style in architecture in the 1950s and 60s that used rough concrete to make fortress-like forms. Kids will learn about this expressive architecture that has so many fans and foes today. Join us to discover some of the world’s most iconic (and most disliked) Brutalist buildings and then design your own!

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 Ticketstripe 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? Spring programs are supported by a Community Partnership with the Battery Park City Authority.
