The annual AIANY Design Awards recognizes New York-based practices for their outstanding work and overall design excellence. Awards are distributed across the following categories: Architecture, Interiors, Urban Design, and Projects.
Jury members Marlon Blackwell, Julie Eizenberg, Stephan Gary, Andrea Love, Maria Paz de Moura Castro, and Francesca Perani were tasked with selecting projects that "demonstrates exemplary skill and creativity in the resolution and integration of formal, functional, and technical requirements, including ecological stewardship and social responsibility."
Below are this year's winning firms and their projects.
Project details: The Newark Housing Authority aspired to design a facility that would be a social collector; a place where neighbors could gather, exercise, and receive educational training to improve their chances for gainful employment in a rapidly transforming digital-based economy. The building’s triangular form results from the shifted urban grid where it meets Weequahic Park, an Olmsted-designed landscape set within the southward of Newark. Inspired by the shift in the urban grid, the building’s expression is two slipping triangular forms set side by side.
