2025 Design Awards
The annual Design Awards program celebrates projects that epitomize what we continue to expect from architects in New York State. Projects can range from skyscrapers, to residences, and are designed by firms of all sizes. Additionally, projects are built all around the world and all designed to achieve different goals: with the commonality of being designed by architects from New York. You will have the distinguished opportunity to join an elite group of architects with AIANYS Design Award.
