The American Institute of Architects New York Chapter announced the winners of its biennial design competition, New Practices New York, which recognizes innovative new architecture firms.
In order to qualify for the competition, the practices had to be founded since 2004, and be located within the five boroughs. This is the first year that the New Practices competition has been open to firms without a registered architect, widening the field of entrants to architectural designers and young professionals in the process of becoming licensed architects. Sixty-five registrants entered, and a distinguished panel of jurors selected the competition’s winners on Wednesday, May 12. The jury members were: Toshiko Mori, Joe MacDonald, William Menking, Guy Nordenson, and Galia Solomonoff.
The New Practices New York 2010 competition winners are: Easton+Combs, Archipelagos, Leong Leong, Manifold, SOFTlab, SO-IL, and Tacklebox. Read the rest of this entry »
