The Municipal Art Society (MAS)<\/a> announced winners of its annual MASterworks awards<\/a> last week, honoring projects that in its words \u201cmake a significant contribution to New York\u2019s built environment.\u201d In the past five years, the awards (in the Best Building category) have gone to a slew of well-known firms: Morphosis, Gehry + Partners, Renzo Piano Workshop. This year was no different, with projects by Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Foster + Partners topping the list.<\/p>\n

The jury\u2014Rafael Pelli, Deborah Berke, Marc Kushner of HWKN, and Charles Bendit of Taconic Investment Partners\u2014also gave a Best Green Design Initiative award to the Design Trust for Public Trust for its High Performance Landscape Guidelines, done in collaboration with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation<\/a>. Below, images of the winning projects, with edited descriptions provided by MAS:<\/p>\n

BEST NEW BUILDINGS<\/p>\n

The Hypar Pavilion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diller Scofidio + Renfro<\/strong><\/p>\n

A free standing structure on the edge of Hearst Plaza and a revived West 65th Street, the pavilion is home to a new public lawn, the Film Society of Lincoln Center, and an 11,000 square foot restaurant.<\/p>\n

Foster + Partners<\/strong><\/p>\n

The glowing rectilinear box is built on a tight urban site. A room-size red elevator, visible through a translucent fa\u00e7ade, enlivens the street.<\/p>\n

BEST RESTORATION<\/p>\n

Queens Theater in the Park<\/strong><\/p>\n

Caples Jefferson Architects <\/strong><\/p>\n

A transparent curved-wall pavilion and a major addition to the iconic 1965 World\u2019s Fair complex designed by Philip Johnson, the structure provides a 600-person reception room. It was constructed within the constraints of the city\u2019s often-convoluted bid\/build process.<\/p>\n

The new 120,000 square foot building\u2014with its masonry brick front, reflecting the existing mercantile architecture on Myrtle Street\u2014also opens up to the main campus with a four-story glass entry atrium.<\/p>\n
