Citation Awards CLB ARCHITECTS: FILTER Created for Design Pavilion and the NYCxDesign Festival, FILTER carves out space for quiet recentering within the frenetic energy of Times Square. Designed as both a monumental object and an ephemeral experience, the pavilion establishes a new node in the heart of New York City’s urban fabric — reorienting that experience toward the natural, rather than the man-made. Evoking the rugged Wyoming landscape from which it originates, FILTER draws the visitor into an engagement of its flowing folds of weathered steel and timber. At the pavilion’s center, a lone tree embodies the ecological cycles and serves as a counterpoint to Manhattan’s urbanity. The pavilion’s chapel-like design facilitates a new understanding of place, providing each occupant the chance to explore their own relationship with the natural world. The structure’s concept began as a simple diagram — a folded sheet of paper, carefully sliced and able to stand on its own. Eric Logan, Partner at CLB, translated this exercise into full-scale existence. DYNIA ARCHITECTS: GOLDEN TRIANGLE (UNBUILT) The program of this 80,000-square-foot mixed-use structure at the corner of 12th Street and Bannock Street in the Golden Triangle section of Denver, Colorado, was intended to include a museum gallery, retail space on the ground floor and multi-tenant office space above, along with below-grade parking. The design aimed to incorporate mass timber construction with a unique geometric motif derived from the structural schematics of a perimeter of diagonal bracing. 31
