Your Lecturer:
Born in Plattsburgh, New York, Keith Taillon has lived in Manhattan since 2010. Much of my spare time is consumed walking the city’s streets, studying its architecture, its structural configuration, and its deeply layered history. My greatest joy is helping others to see New York in a new way, learning to look up, look around, and appreciate this truly special place anew. You can find him at @keithyorkcity
