纽约拉瓜迪亚机场B航站楼被评审团评为联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）2021年凡尔赛建筑奖（Prix Versailles）机场类别的大奖。

为纪念世界上最好的当代建筑，此奖项“致敬了创新的品质；创造力；当地、自然、文化遗产的表达；生态效率；以及联合国高度重视的社会互动与参与，”奖项机构在官方声明中提到。

拉瓜迪亚机场一直是备受世人瞩目的机场之一，而新的B航站楼则象征着这一机场从上到下彻底的翻新。

出发与到达大厅的透明、流畅的设计象征着流动，同时体现了这座以其卓越建筑而闻名的城市的人文。本着纽约著名的中央火车站等大型交通中心的精神，新的B航站楼迎来了一个宏大的交通和旅行新时代。它的垂直度和规模与城市本身宏伟壮观的形象相呼应。

建设可持续、弹性的基础设施是世界疫情后重建的重要组成部分。作为世界上第一个获得LEED v4金级认证的机场，B航站楼帮助开创了民用基础设施项目的可持续性标准。这个项目同时也反映了纽约和新泽西港务局对多样化的承诺，在授予少数族裔和女性拥有的企业及机构的合同中实现了历史性的20亿美元。

这个51亿美元（40亿美元工程造价）的B航站楼项目是美国航空史上最大的公私合作项目。

“我们很荣幸获得联合国教科文组织凡尔赛世界建筑和设计大奖，”机场B航站楼的开发和运营公司LaGuardia Gateway Partners的首席执行官弗兰克·斯克莱明说道。“我们的愿景是融合世界一流的公共艺术、广受欢迎的设施、标志性建筑和最先进的技术，完全提升和改造B航站楼的体验。我们为被联合国教科文组织评委会评为最佳机场而感到自豪，并感谢我们的合作伙伴纽约和新泽西港务局，Vantage机场集团、斯堪斯卡、Meridiam、JLC基础设施、斯堪斯卡-沃尔什联合运营、HOK和WSP。”

LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal B Wins UNESCO’s 2021 Prix Versailles Award

The World Jury of the Prix Versailles has honored LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal B in New York City with the prestigious World Title in the Airports category. 

In honoring the world’s best contemporary architecture, the World Selections “pay tribute to the qualities of innovation; creativity; reflection of local, natural and cultural heritage; and ecological efficiency, as well as the values of social interaction and participation which the United Nations holds in high regard,” said the French-based organization in a statement.

The new Terminal B symbolizes the top-to-bottom transformation of one of the highest-profile U.S. airports.

The transparent, fluid design of the Arrivals and Departures Hall celebrates movement while conveying a strong civic presence in a city known for its remarkable architecture. In the spirit of grand transportation centers like New York’s celebrated Grand Central Terminal, the new Terminal B ushers in an ambitious new era of mobility and travel. Its verticality and scale echo the grandeur of the city itself.

Investing in sustainable, resilient infrastructure is a vital part of the world’s post-pandemic rebuilding. As the world’s first airport to earn LEED v4 Gold certification, LaGuardia’s new Terminal B has helped pioneer sustainability measures for civil infrastructure projects. The airport’s transformation also reflects the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s commitment to diversity, having achieved a historic $2 billion in contracts awarded to minority- and women-owned business enterprises.

The ongoing $5.1 billion ($4 billion construction value) Terminal B project is the largest public-private partnership in U.S. aviation history.

“We’re honored to receive the UNESCO Prix Versailles World Architecture and Design Award,” said Frank Scremin, CEO of LaGuardia Gateway Partners, Terminal B’s developer and manager. “Our vision was to completely elevate and transform the Terminal B experience, incorporating world-class public art, sought-after amenities, iconic architecture and state-of-the-art technology. We’re proud to be recognized as the best airport by the UNESCO panel of judges and thankful to our partners Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Vantage Airport Group, Skanska, Meridiam, JLC Infrastructure, Skanska-Walsh Joint Venture, HOK and WSP.”
