AYON Studio Principal Angel Ayón was appointed by Governor Kathy Hochul in 2024 to the Commission for the Restoration of the New York State Capitol, which oversees the long-term stewardship of one of New York’s most significant civic landmarks.
Angel recently attended a holiday reception hosted by Governor Hochul at the Empire State Convention Center for members of her advisory commissions. The event brought together appointees from across New York State who contribute their professional expertise in service of the public realm.
His appointment reflects a longstanding commitment to historic preservation as public service—extending professional expertise beyond individual projects to the care of shared civic institutions. Through both practice and public engagement, AYON Studio remains dedicated to safeguarding significant buildings for the benefit of current and future generations.
