Caples Jefferson Architects received a 2024 AIA New York State Honor Award in the Institutional category for the Louis Armstrong Center in Corona, Queens.
Since 1968, the The American Institute of Architects New York State Design Awards have recognized architectural excellence, celebrating projects that exemplify innovation, sustainability, and cultural significance. This year, 29 projects were honored across 14 categories, including Adaptive Reuse, Institutional, Urban Planning, and more.
The awards jury praised the winning projects for their commitment to environmental stewardship, placemaking, and design excellence—values that guided our work on the Louis Armstrong Center.
Congratulations to all the award recipients!
To be a great architect—or painter or poet or almost anything—do you need a great patron? “Certainly that helps, but then you have to bring the talent and vision and invention,” says Sara Caples.
Listen to Randy Cohen, Everardo Jefferson, and Sara Caples in conversation at the Louis Armstrong Center for Episode 519 of Person Place Thing broadcasting Tuesday and Sunday afternoons at 1:30 on WNYE, 91.5 FM, and more broadly Friday night at 10:30 across WAMC Northeast Public Radio. You can also hear it any time as a podcast at PersonPlaceThing.org or download it free at iTunes.
Person Place Thing is an interview show based on this idea: people are particularly engaging when they speak not directly about themselves but about something they care about. Guests talk about one person, one place, and one thing that is important to them. The result? Surprising stories from great talkers.
Produced with Open House New York.
