Update and correction: two projects with contributions by C&G Partners have been honored in the Connecticut Green Building Council’s 2009 Design Awards: Darien Library (awarded top honor “Most Intriguing”) by Peter Gisolfi and Associates, for which partner Steff Geissbuhler’s team created the signage; and GE by Perkins Eastman Architects, for which partner Keith Helmetag’s team created installations about sustainability and the GE brand.

The interiors for GE’s Tax and Energy Financial Services headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut have just received the award for the “Most Intriguing” in commercial interiors in the 2009 Design Awards of the Connecticut Chapter of the United States Green Building Council (the CTGBC). (The CTGBC’s “Most Intriguing” is the one top prize in a category. All other honors are simply “Intriguing”.) The project includes a new suite of installations designed by C&G Partners in collaboration with Perkins Eastman Architects. Video production on this project was done by our long-time colleagues RBH Media.

The interactive table at the Star-Spangled Banner exhibit has won a 2009 MUSE Award from the American Association of Museums, who called the installation “breathtaking.” The MUSE Award competition recognizes excellence in media produced by or for museums. Based on an original concept by our SSB design team, and with final design and production by Potion, the interactive table allows visitors a hands-on experience of one of the nation’s greatest treasures.

A stack of copies of 365, the annual book of the AIGA’s design awards program, arrived in the mail this week. Filling one spread: the firm’s New York University Timeline. Previous post on the award here.

An exhibit at AIGA featuring the NYU project opens to the public today at the AIGA National Design Center (through 20 Feb 2009 at 164 Fifth Avenue, New York, M-Th 11-6, Fr 11-5).

C&G Partners has just learned that the Erie Canal Harbor project, led by partner Keith Helmetag, has just won a 2008 Honor Award from the NY Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), under the category of collaborative design. The award will be presented in New York City in December. Award winners will be posted to the ASLA/NY website in the next few weeks.

Hidden in the midst of all the election-day news coverage, Event Design Magazine announced today that C&G Partners’ Erie Canal Commercial Slip project is the 2008 Gold Winner in the “Best Graphical Treatment” category. One Gold Winner in each category is chosen from hundreds of entries. The Event Design Awards recognize the “cream of the crop in the world of events, exhibits, and environments.”

The firm’s website for the American Association of Architects, favoritearchitecture.org, has won an “Outstanding Website” 2008 Web Award from the Web Marketing Association.

“Outstanding Website” is a special honor level. From the Web Awards description: Recognizing that several outstanding sites may be entered in the same category and only one site can win Best of Industry, this award allows the Web Marketing Association to recognize work above and beyond the standard of excellence.

Steff has been invited to become the ADC Design Sphere Jury Chair for ADC’s 88th Annual Awards Competition.

From ADC: ADC’s longstanding goals are to elevate the best and to encourage and inspire both working creative professionals and those who are entering the field … the ADC Design Sphere is awarded to a body of work produced for a single client by a design firm. Unlike other categories, work entered for
Sphere may have been produced over a period of years; this award will elevate the greatest overall sustained execution. Winning work should not only successfully convey a powerful, consistent and meaningful message to end-users; it should also inspire the next generation of designers.

Congratulations, Steff, and good luck to next year’s Design Sphere entrants.
