September 6, 2023Transportation and Infrastructure Design Excellence Awards: Call for Juror Nominations
Dear Committee members,
The AIA New York Chapter (AIANY) and the American Society of Landscape Architects NY (ASLA NY) Chapter are launching the fifth round of the Transportation + Infrastructure Design Excellence Awards, which recognizes the design excellence of nationwide transportation and infrastructure-related projects.
Launched in 2018, this national awards program specifically recognizes the unique characteristics of transportation and infrastructure work at all scales. The program recognizes the civic importance of this work, and fosters dialogue about related projects and their essential role within the public realm. This awards program is co-organized 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 welcome 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. Keep in mind that just as the Awards program is national, the jury pool can and should be national as well, so feel free to nominate candidates from beyond our membership.
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.
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!
