Take to the waters with an expert AIANY guide to see the latest in how architects and lighting designers are creating a new, more dynamic nighttime experience. View the famously mesmerizing lights of Manhattan and explore the latest trends and innovations in architectural New York City lighting.
This two hour narrated cruise will depart at sunset from Chelsea Piers in Manhattan and will include the Lower Hudson River, Upper New York Bay and the East River. Prominent examples examined include the Statue of Liberty from 1886, the Woolworth Tower in 1913, the 1931 Empire State Building, and New York City’s latest supertall building, One World Trade Center.
