Topping Farm by Hollander Design Landscape Architects Domino Park by James Corner Field Operations 2019 Award of Excellence: Domino Park by James Corner Field Operations Inspired by community input and the site’s rich history, Domino Park reconnects the Williamsburg neighborhood to the East River for the first time in 160 years. The five-acre park offers a range of activities: beach volleyball, a playground, a dog run, a taco stand, water features, lawns and plentiful seating. The park celebrates the history of one of New York’s most iconic industrial waterfront sites by integrating over 30 large-scale salvaged relics, including 21 original columns from the Raw Sugar Warehouse, gantry cranes, screw conveyors and syrup tanks. It functions as a resilient and absorbent sponge and the neighborhood’s first line of defense against super storms. Since its opening, Domino Park has become a magnet, embraced by the diverse community it serves. 2019 ASLA-NY DESIGN AWARD WINNERS: AWARD OF EXCELLENCE James Corner Field Operations Domino Park HONOR AWARD Dirtworks Landscape Architecture Resilient Dunescape Future Green Studio Sections of the Anthropocene LaGuardia Design Group Bridgehampton Sculpture Garden HIP Landscape Architecture The Art of Collaboration: Bringing Landscape Architecture into the Classroom Studio Hollander Design Landscape Architects Dune House Hollander Design Landscape Architects Topping Farm Renee Byers Landscape Architect Hillside Haven SCAPE First Avenue Water Plaza SCAPE Public Sediment for Alameda Creek SiteWorks Landscape Architecture The Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice HONOR AWARD (CON’T) SWA/Balsley Hunter’s Point South Waterfront Park Phase II SWA/Balsley Naftzger Park Terrain NYC Landscape Architecture No Name Inlet at Greenpoint W Architecture and Landscape Architecture Julian B Lane River Center and Park MERIT AWARD BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group Islais Hyper-Creek Doyle Herman Design Associates Ecological Connection Future Green Studio Brooklyn Children’s Museum Joanna Pertz Landscape Architecture Campos Plaza, NYCHA Housing Complex Joanna Pertz Landscape Architecture Stuart’s Garden LaGuardia Design Group A River Runs Through It Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects Freeman Plaza NYC Parks Playground 52 RAFT Landscape Architecture Queens Boulevard Urban Design Plan Renee Byers Landscape Architect Village Sanctuary Sawyer|Berson Residences in Bridgehampton Sawyer|Berson Residence on Sagg Pond SCAPE Madison Avenue Plaza Steven Yavanian Landscape Architecture Dumbo Courtyard Terrain NYC Landscape Architecture Newswalk Entry Garden Terrain Work Broadway Bouquet W Architecture and Landscape Architecture Chouteau Greenway - The Valley Beeline The award-winning projects will be on display in an exhibit at the Center for Architecture throughout the month of April 2019.
