The purpose of the Architecture, Planning and Design Program is to stimulate and promote excellence in design and planning in the public realm for the benefit of all New Yorkers. The Program aims to increase awareness and appreciation of the designed environment of New York State and to advance innovation in the design and planning fields.
The Program's objectives are to:
Support the operations of those institutions that provide ongoing services and/or public programs in the design, planning, and historic preservation fields through institutional funding.Encourage the development of design literacy among the people of the state through support of public education projects.
Create better communities, public spaces and cultural facilities by offering funding to nonprofit organizations and municipalities for the services of design and planning professionals.
Stimulate and support the evolution of the design arts through funding to individuals in these fields.
The Program supports work in the fields of contemporary and restoration architecture, landscape architecture, urban and rural planning, urban design, historic preservation, graphic and industrial design, and architectural theory and history. The program also administers funding for the Council's Capital Projects.
PLEASE NOTE: The Council will not be able to support specific Main Street or waterfront revitalization studies or community master planning projects in FY11.
