NEW YORK—The local chapter of the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) honored last week at its 2012 Industry Awards Gala architects, engineers, and contractors for outstanding achievements in the built environment in and around New York.
Recipients this year created projects that have cast “an indelible mark on the people who come into contact with them.”
There were a variety of projects that were awarded on April 18 at a Gala dinner at Union Square Ballroom. Among them were a theme-based carousel and an affordable housing development.
The Battery SeaGlass Carousel at the Battery is an innovative glass structure that is coming to Battery Park in Lower Manhattan as part of the park’s overall revitalization. Simulating an underwater environment, the carousel is designed in the shape of a nautilus shell, with lights and sounds adding to the ocean-like atmosphere.
