New York, New York (March 28, 2025) - The American Society of Landscape Architects, New York (ASLA-NY), the New York City chapter of the national professional organization representing landscape architects, today announced the recipients of the Chapter's 2025 Design Awards. Organized by the ASLA-NY Chapter Awards Committee, the Design Awards bolster local visibility, acknowledge and promote the work of the Chapter's membership, and publicly recognize excellence in the practice of landscape architecture.

Juried by an interdisciplinary team of professionals from the ASLA Florida Chapter, this year's winning entries were selected based on quality of design and execution, innovation, and impact on the community and the profession. Out of a record-high 94 submissions, the jury selected one (1) Award of Excellence, eight (8) Honor, and twenty (20) Merit award winners. All awards will be presented at our Design Awards Ceremony on April 24 to be held at the Arsenal in Central Park. An outdoor exhibit of winning projects will be on display in Midtown during NYC DOT's Car-free Earth Day event on April 26, at a special NYCxDesign Festival event in mid-May, and online at aslany.org.
