You’re Invited to the 2016 AIANY Board Inaugural

2015 has been a year of great change and growth for AIANY and the Center for Architecture. This year, we watched the newly-formed Center for Architecture grow with a number of well-reviewed exhibitions and an off-site pop-up location at the South Street Seaport’s Culture District; we saw our membership grow to more than 5,200 architects and allied professionals; and, more recently, we gained a new executive director, Ben Prosky.

On 12.15.15, AIANY will celebrate the achievements of 2015 and present a preview of what’s to come in 2016 at the 2016 AIA New York Board Inaugural. Rossant will pass the gavel to 2016 President Carol Loewenson, FAIA, LEED AP, partner at Mitchell | Giurgola Archictects. Please join us as we welcome our new executive director Benjamin Prosky and incoming board members, and thank exiting members for their outstanding leadership contributions to the Chapter. A celebratory reception will follow.

Announcing Ben Prosky

AIANY and the Center for Architecture are thrilled to announce that Benjamin Prosky has been named Executive Director for both organizations. Ben will step down from his role as Assistant Dean for Communications at Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD) and commence full responsibilities in early 2016.

With a background in urban studies and urban planning, Ben has devoted the past 15 years to the promotion and interpretation of architecture and the city. He began his career at the Institut français d’architecture (IFA) in Paris, and later joined the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) as head of Public Programs. Prior to joining Harvard GSD, Ben spent six years at Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation as Director of Special Events and External Affairs. Ben was also one of the four co-founders of Architizer, one of the first online social and professional networking tool created specifically for architects.

We look forward to the unique energy, intelligence, and experience that Ben will bring to the Chapter and the Center for Architecture, and we invite you to welcome him at the AIANY 2016 Board Inaugural on 12.15.15.
