David Eskenazi (B.Arch ’09), of the Los Angeles-based d.esk, has won a 2020 League Prize from the Architectural League of New York. Eskenazi is part of the design studio and visual studies faculty at SCI-Arc, and has contributed written research to a number of outlets. Eskenazi founded d.esk in 2014. His practice aims “to contribute to the history of ideas in architecture through a close look at contemporary conundrums.” Experimenting with scale, materiality, and design processes, Eskenazi also pursues research through writing.
Established in 1981 to recognize exemplary and provocative work by young practitioners, The Architectural League Prize is an annual competition, lecture series, and exhibition organized by The Architectural League and its Young Architects + Designers Committee.
