More Building Brooklyn Award winners
BROOKLYN — In addition to the three images that ran of 2012 Building Brooklyn Award winners in yesterday’s edition of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce has released the images of the nine additional winners.
The winners represent an “inspired, creative mix” of projects that enrich the borough’s neighborhoods and economy, according to Lori Raphael, director of real estate and development for the Chamber and organizer of the annual awards event.
An independent, 11-member panel of Brooklyn-based architects, planners, economic development experts and city officials selected the winningprojects, which were judged on a list of criteria, including design excellence and innovation, economic impact, sustainability, urban context/design, contribution to neighborhood, and the most important but least definable quality, “Brooklyn-ness.” Winners were selected from a highly competitive pool of nearly 50 nominees.
