We are excited to announce “Head Hi in the City,” a collaboration with Head Hi, New York’s premiere architecture and design-focused bookstore. The Brooklyn-based cultural organization bridging architecture, design, and art via projects, reading materials, and public programming, will be opening a month-long pop-up at the Center for Architecture for the month of October. Featuring books and design objects for sale as well as weekly events including book launches, talks, and the New York Architecture & Design Book Club gathering, Head Hi will spotlight recently released architecture publications selected to celebrate Archtober's 2025 festival theme of Shared Spaces and a commitment to deepening our relationships with the places we inhabit.

International guest program participants for the Head Hi in the City Pop Up at Center for Architecture include Montreal based studio Daily tous les jours, The New York Architecture & Design Book Club organized in collaboration with design journal Untapped, Mexico City based cultural platform Proyector, Irish photographer Rich Gilligan, architecture firms WORKac and Mattaforma! Stay tuned, the full schedule will be announced soon.

The pop up space at 532 Laguardia Place will be designed in collaboration with New York based architectural lighting designers Studio Atomic and Italian company Dooor. The shop will be open Thursday–Saturday as well as during various Archtober events—stay tuned for more information.
