On September 18, 2025, Principal Angel Ayón joined a gathering of fellow leaders across architecture, engineering, and construction at the Center for Architecture in New York City to celebrate the Facade Tectonics Institute’s 2025 Vitruvian Honors & Awards. It was an evening dedicated to the advancement of the art, science, and technology of high-performance façades.
Angel Ayón was recognized with the FTI Vitruvian Awards Jury Member 2025 emblem for his service on this year’s award selection. The jury evaluated projects across thirteen categories, honoring achievements in façade design, engineering, fabrication, and lifecycle performance — all centered on innovation, collaboration, and climate responsibility.
The Vitruvian Awards celebrate more than design excellence; they champion façades as critical instruments in addressing the global climate crisis. The program calls on the building industry to shift from being a major source of environmental impact to becoming a leader in resilience and sustainability. It challenges project teams to use the building envelope as a mechanism for integration — bridging performance, beauty, and planetary health.
