AIA NEW YORK STATE STUDENT AWARD | Kayla Hansen, Associate AIA

Established in 2005, the Student Award recognizes notable contributions and accomplishments by a student member of The American Institute of Architecture Students within New York State.

Kayla Hansen graduated from Roger Williams University in 2020 with a BS in Architecture and a minor in Art and Architectural history. Kayla received her Master of Architecture, from Roger Williams University in 2022. During her undergrad years, she was a member of AIAS at Roger Williams University. She is now an Associate AIA member on the path of licensure, studying for and taking the ARE exams. Kayla’s Architectural thesis project, The Urban Atrium, was recognized by AIA Long Island, as it won first place for Long Island AIA Women in Architecture lnspire and Aspire 2022 Student Design Scholarship Competition. Her project is a reinterpretation of the atrium in a new way and at a new scale where Times Square becomes the atrium. Upon this realization, the project becomes about life above the city and the focus of the design aims toward creating a building that embodies the qualities of the atria typology.

YOUNG ARCHITECT AWARD | Jeffrey Pawlowski, AIA & Jaclyn Tyler, AIA

The Young Architect Award recognizes notable contributions and accomplishments within the architecture profession by an architect member in New York State who has also demonstrated exceptional leadership.

The first recipient is Jeffrey Pawlowski, AIA. For over 13 years, Jeff has been an active, engaged, and energetic member of the AIA— serving on several committees for the Central New York chapter, and for the past five years, serving at the state level. He has engaged on various programs, initiatives, and task forces where he’s brought an open mind, a positive attitude, and high expectations for outcomes that consistently promote the mission of the AIA.

As the Vice President of Communications & Public Awareness, he positively impacted all portfolios to better that mission. And in his current position as Vice President of Education, Jeff’s knowledge and expertise helps to guide the delivery of relevant and diverse programming to the AIANYS (change to AIA New York State) membership. Jeff believes that education is crucial to advancing and improving the profession and the industry.

As a Project Manager at SUNY Upstate Medical University Design and Construction, Jeff instills his belief that designing spaces to promote harmony of mind, body and spirit, culture will shift from one that is dependent on invasive medicine to one that focuses on the healing experience of the patient.

The second recipient is Jaclyn Tyler, AIA. The Young Architect Award recognizes notable contributions and accomplishments within the architecture profession by an architect member in New York State who has also demonstrated exceptional leadership.

Since 2007, Jaclyn has actively participated in the American Institute of Architects. Her dedication to growth motivates her actions to advocate for change within communities, diversify her profession and to act with genuine responsibility for the impact architecture has on our environment and future generations.
