Gala for design leaders not your humdrum affair

NY Daily News

Ratner exec fêted:

At last Thursday's American Institute of Architects' (AIA) Heritage Ball, hosted by the New York chapter, 1,200-plus people showed up at the annual black-tie event to honor some of New York's design leaders. Not your usual humdrum affair, this one had an 8-minute video documentary produced by N.Y. AIA executive director Rick Bell. In it, honorees Daniel Libeskind and his wife, Nina, NYC Housing Preservation Development head Shawn Donovan, Forest City Ratner exec MaryAnne Gilmartin and the Robin Hood Foundation's David Saltzman talked about their favorite books, New York buildings and why they do what they do. Afterward the four gave speeches.
