The Mumford Award is LANDMARK WEST!’s new signature award named for the New York-based urban thinker, sociologist, historian, and critic Lewis Mumford (1895-1990), an influential and prolific writer and commentator on the culture and histories of cities and modern life. The award annually recognizes an individual dedicated to the urban environment of New York City. Whether by promoting understanding or advancing innovation and improvement, this individual’s efforts celebrate the city and prompt discourse and debate.
Andrew Dolkart is a Professor of Historic Preservation at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and is a co-founder and co-director of the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project. He is a preservationist and historian specializing in the architecture and development of New York City, with particular interest in the design and use of the common yet overlooked building types that line the city’s streets. A founding member of LANDMARK WEST!, Dolkart is the recipient of the Historic District Council’s Landmarks Lion award and the New York Landmarks Conservancy’s Lucy G. Moses Preservation Leadership award, and is the author of several award-winning books.
