The oldest chapter of AIA has announced the winners of the 2023 AIANY Design Awards. While all submitting architects are members of the New York section of the professional organization, not all projects are located in the five boroughs, the Empire State, or even North America.
The 18 projects receiving recognition range in location and scope from the adaptive repurposing of a ferry terminal in New York to villas in Lebanon on the former site of a Syrian army camp. Divided into four categories (Architecture, Interiors, Projects and Urbanism), the projects showcase architectural innovation, sustainable practices and the importance of preserving history.
Members of the jury for the AINY Design Awards 2023 were:
- Ronnie Belizaire, Vice President, JLL
- Gia Biagi, Commissioner for the Chicago Department of Transportation
- Angela Brooks, General Manager, Brooks + Scarpa
- Nondita Correa Mehrotra, Director, RMA Architects; Director, Charles Correa Foundation
- Ashley Rao, Associate Principal, Leers Weinzapfel Associates
Below are the winning projects. The list begins with the Honor recipients, followed by the projects receiving Merit and Citation recognition in each category. Curious about which projects won last year? You can view these here.
The AIANY Design Awards exhibition will be on view later this year from May 4th to September 2nd at the Center for Architecture.
