AIA Brooklyn celebrates nine winning projects for its 2022 BKDA Design Awards

AIA Brooklyn has announced the winners of their 2022 Brooklyn Design Awards (BKDA). Held each year, the awards celebrate projects based in Brooklyn or completed by Brooklyn-based architects/designers. The nine selected projects, ranging from small-scale architectural activations to large-scale urban developments, were chosen to reflect each project’s “design excellence, technical skill, innovation, environmental responsiveness, and/or social impact.”

“Brooklyn is a hotbed of culture, industry, creativity, and ingenuity,” noted Jason Boutin, 2022 Brooklyn Design Awards Committee Chair and partner at The Brooklyn Studio. “Today, it is one of the best-known place names in the world and this program is proud to celebrate those Brooklyn architects driven by the values of the borough.”
