The ICAA has announced the winners of the 2013 Arthur Ross Awards for excellence in preserving and advancing the Classical tradition.

In the category of Commercial, Civic & Institutional Architecture, George Ranalli, Architect, won for a new community center building at the Saratoga Avenue Community Center in Brooklyn, NY. His work included the design of the 5,500-sq.ft. new addition, and 2,500-sq.ft. of renovation. “George Ranalli’s design suavely addressed the Housing Authority budget and guidelines, which restricted low windows and required bullet-proof glass,” said Loth. “Admittedly, this is not a Classical-style building, but we can’t say it’s not a classic.”
