Following his appointment by Governor Kathy Hochul, AYON Studio Principal Angel Ayón participated in a working meeting of the Commission for the Restoration of the New York State Capitol, which was recently reintroduced under the Governor’s administration. The meeting took place at the Capitol in Albany and focused on renewed stewardship of the building and its historic fabric.
Commission members engaged in site-based discussions and walkthroughs of key interior and exterior spaces, examining materials, craftsmanship, and major civic rooms that continue to support the daily operations of New York State government. The conversations emphasized the Capitol’s dual role as both a historic landmark and an active public institution.
Angel’s participation reflects AYON Studio’s commitment to historic preservation as public service, grounded in careful observation, material understanding, and the long-term stewardship of significant civic architecture.
