Architect to the rescue
Cheers to New York City Tech Professor Illya Azaroff for being honored by the American Institute of Architects.
Standing O pal Illya is an associate professor of architecture, and he aced the 2014 Young Architects Award from the American Institute of Architects for his exceptional leadership and contributions to the profession at such an early stage in his architectural career.
The good professor’s passion for his job has championed the interests of young architects and emerging professionals: As a member of the board, he co-founded and co-chairs the chapter’s Design for Risk and Reconstruction Committee, which has led the institute’s efforts, both before and after Superstorm Sandy, organized dozens of panels, lectures, and workshops that have provided valuable information, and co-organized a panel to discuss resiliency strategies to prepare for storm surges and other environmental disasters.
It’s no wonder he won.
Standing O asks, “Who ya gonna call when the next superstorm hits? Super Professor Azaroff, that’s who.”
