2023 Professional Service Awards
The Professional Awards honor excellence in practice and advocacy of design in NYS public architecture.
Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller Award
The Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller Award recognizes licensed architects employed in the public sector in New York State whose work on projects within their jurisdiction has furthered the cause of design excellence in public architecture.
Nelson Rockefeller devoted a significant portion of his life to public service, most notably serving as the 49th Governor of the State of New York.
Henry Hobson Richardson Award
The Henry Hobson Richardson Award recognizes AIA members licensed in NYS and practicing in the private sector who have made a significant contribution to the quality of NYS public architecture and who have established a portfolio of accomplishments to that end.
One of the founding fathers of American architecture, Henry Hobson Richardson designed many significant public buildings in New York State and the United States.
