It is with great excitement that we extend an invitation to you for a special event hosted by Dean Perbellini of NYIT. We are thrilled to welcome the esteemed Carol Bentel, Paul Bentel, and Peter Bentel for the launch of their new book, "CORRELATIONS: LIFE + WORK: Bentel & Bentel Architects". This is a rare opportunity to celebrate the creativity and innovation of these exceptionally talented individuals.
Based in a historically distinguished town called Locust Valley near New York City, the firm of Bentel & Bentel Architects has been led for over 50 years by two generations – men and women – of one family, and soon to be led by a third generation.
(RE) Connecting Communities is a conference bringing together architects, constructors, engineers, and landscape architects to discuss the social and economic barriers that occur when highways separate communities. Using successfully completed projects, attendees will have the opportunity to ask “how to questions” of practitioners and elected officials that have overcome barriers to create a more cohesive and inclusive environment that benefits residents and business.
This pivotal event will empower you with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify work opportunities that will positively impact communities.
Through interactive workshops, expert panels, and networking, you will gain insights into innovative approaches to community development, sustainable design practices, and collaborative strategies for inclusive urban planning.
Following the conference, network and celebrate at the AIANYS Excelsior Awards & AGC NYS Build NY Awards, honoring excellence in architecture, construction, and design for publicly funded projects.
Don’t miss this opportunity to (Re)Connect!

Restoration Farm was founded in 2007 and is committed to sustainable agriculture. The farm does not use herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers. The farm provides Long Islanders with a high standard of quality food, while reducing the miles that Food travels. Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a cooperative model that puts farmers and eaters in direct, intimate contact. By sharing the risks inherent in farming, this model allows growers to avoid debt, employ sustainable methods, and build farms that are deeply connected to the communities they serve. On the tour of the beautiful acreage, we will learn the sustainable principles that Restoration Farm implements to rebuild their soil, and their water efficient strategies. Architects will learn how design must account for how a building relates to the microclimate, or how the soil can support local flora. Each relationship builds on the other to create a strong, thriving human-nature ecosystem..
