Annually since 1968, AIA New York State’s Design Awards celebrate local, national and international projects that achieve architectural excellence designed by architects who are licensed and registered in New York State.
Twenty-five projects were recognized for Citation, Merit, and Honor Awards in the following categories: Adaptive Reuse/Historic Preservation, Commercial/Industrial, Institutional, Interiors, International, Pro Bono Projects, Residential, Small Firms, Unbuilt, and Urban Planning and Design.
The 2023 Design Awards jury was comprised of Jury Chair Kamran Charmsaz, AIA, CCCA, LEED AP, Principal at KTGY; Tim Tielman, Executive Director and a founder of The Campaign for Buffalo History, Architecture & Culture, Co-founder of the Buffalo Central Terminal Restoration Corporation, and Principal of Spatial LLC; Melvalean McLemore, AIA, Senior Associate at Moody Nolan, and one of the first 500 licensed black women in the United States and the 16th in Texas; and Beth Tauke, Associate Professor, Department of Architecture, School of Architecture and Planning, University at Buffalo – State University of New York. Peter Arsenault, FAIA, was the facilitator.
Out of the 25 award recipients, the jury also selected one project considered to be the “Best of the Best,” which was revealed at the awards ceremony in December.
Kamran Charmsaz, AIA, the 2023 Design Awards Jury Chair stated, “I am delighted to have encountered such a remarkable array of projects, each possessing outstanding quality that leaves a lasting impact on the community.
The ingenious designs, rooted in a deep respect for sustainability, the natural environment, and cultural context, not only exemplify innovation but also resonate with the dynamic nature of our times.”
AIANYS 2023 President Paul McDonnell, AIA said, “I am invigorated by the innovative solutions New York State architects consistently bring to fruition, creating a significant and positive influence on the communities they engage with. My heartfelt congratulations to all the deserving recipients of our prestigious Design Awards.”
