‘Global Architectural Wonders: Monument & Spectacle’ Webinar

From the bold and beautiful to just plain bizarre, the history of architecture encompasses a vast number of unique works throughout the world. Though whatever the design, architecture not only ensures a building’s structural integrity, but also acts as a reinforcer of its cultural standing and representation of the ideas and activities that take place inside its walls. From palaces and theaters, to factories and apartment houses, it’s time to explore some of the most incredible architectural wonders still standing.

Join New York Adventure Club for our Global Architectural Wonders series, where we virtually scour the globe to uncover some of the most remarkable and astonishing works of architecture ever constructed. In this webinar — Monument & Spectacle — we’ll examine traditional ancient buildings to cutting-edge technological masterpieces that are both monumental works and spectacularly designed.

Led by architectural historian David V. Griffin of Landmark Branding, this digital showcase featuring a selection of incredible global architectural wonders will include:

  • Fascinating landmarks and institutions, from France’s most famous — and infamous — lighthouse, to an extraordinary — and endangered — aquarium in Detroit
  • Jaw-dropping homes, such as a glittering Islamic-inspired Italian villa from the 19th century
  • Atypical architecture, including a bizarre bar designed by the artist behind the “Alien” franchise
  • An in-depth look at each building’s construction, context, and current status, with a focus on how culture and innovation drive architectural symbolism

Afterward, we’ll have a Q&A with David — any and all questions about these unique buildings are welcomed and encouraged!
