January 14, 2022Call for Juror Nominations: 2022 Transportation + Infrastructure Design Excellence Awards
This year, AIA New York will again sponsor the annual awards program to recognize the design excellence of transportation and infrastructure-related projects. This awards program specifically recognizes the unique characteristics of transportation and infrastructure work at all scales. The goal of the Transportation and Infrastructure (T+ I) Design Excellence Awards is to recognize the civic importance of this work, and foster dialogue about related projects and their essential role within the public realm. This awards program is co-sponsored by the AIANY Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the American Society of Landscape Architects NY (ASLA NY) Chapter.
A qualified panel of jurors is being sought to review the submitted projects and help make this program a success. We are calling on you to nominate a potential juror who you believe is available, interested, and qualified. You are free to self-nominate. Once nominated, the prospective jurors will be contacted, and the panel will be assembled. A nomination does not guarantee a place on the jury.
Jurors should have experience in the realms of transportation and infrastructure and/or civic architecture as clients, designers, planners, landscape architects, educators, advocates, or other related backgrounds.
Tentative Schedule:
- Week of February 7 – launch
- Week of April 8 – Submission Deadline (allows 60 days)
- Week of May 2 – Provide Jurors with access to submissions
- Week of May 16 – Jurors convene (virtual)

NOTE: Juror members as individuals and their current firms are precluded from submitting entries for award.

Transportation and Infrastructure
The AIANY Transportation and Infrastructure Committee focuses on planning, architectural design, technical, and policy issues related to transportation and infrastructure, including systems and civic facilities to accommodate marine, aviation, and land-based transit, as well as energy, water and waste distribution networks. It is the mission of the committee to examine the architecture of, and to advocate for design quality in, transportation and infrastructure projects. We invite all committee members, and those interested in joining the committee, to join us at our monthly meetings on the 4th Thursday of the month at 6pm on Zoom unless noted. We are always looking for enthusiastic participants interested in contributing to the programs or assisting in other ways!
