The film details the Leisurama housing development of 1963, conceived by All-State Properties, sold by Macy's Department Stores and designed by Andrew Geller for Raymond Loewy Associates. For more information visit http://www.leisurama.info.

The award was presented to Mr. Geller by Jim Martino, AIA Executive Committee member. "His work clearly established a new vocabulary for architecture, changing the perception of the general public of what was then understood as appropriate beach house designs," said Martino. "When thinking in terms of architects who’s work had an impact on our profession and society one thinks of obviously Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropious, van de Rohe, Johnson and the generation after them, Gwathmey and Meier and as recently, Frank Geary. We are of the opinion that history will prove (if it hasn’t already) that this man’s school of work influenced countless of architects after him, simply by the virtue of the many diverse homes that have since been built across the landscape of Long Island’s beach front communities that emulate his style."

After accepting his award, Geller smiled at the large audience in attendance and said, "Thank you all very much. It’s grand being here looking out at you instead of being out looking in at you."
