Queens Theatre in the Park (Caples Jefferson Architects) was announced as the winner in the Best Restoration category. The award recognizes the restoration of a historically significant commercial, residential or institutional building and/or a publicly-accessible lobby.  The renovated Queens Theatre in the Park is a transparent curved wall pavilion and a major addition to the iconic 1964 World’s Fair complex designed by Philip Johnson. The compelling new structure provides a 600-person reception room and, significantly, fits within the constraints of the publicly funded city bid/build process. The jury said that the project gives a shot of adrenaline to the park and energizes this central part of Queens.
