The annual Honors and Awards Luncheon celebrates the recipients of several major AIA New York awards—the Medal of Honor, Champion of Architecture Award, Architecture in Media Award, New Perspectives Award, and the winners of AIA New York’s prestigious Design Awards. The 24 winners of this year’s AIANY Design Awards competition were announced January 12 during a symposium hosted by the jury at the Center for Architecture. The luncheon is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate with New York City’s leaders in architecture, design, construction, and real estate!

Your support for this event enables AIA New York’s mission to cultivate an open, adept, and future-forward architectural community, empowering members to work at the apex of their abilities through critical exchange, access to professional resources, and advocacy on issues that advance positive change.
