Graham Foundation Awards $490,000 in Grants to Individuals in 2015
May 28, 2015
An exhaustive photographic survey of modernist architect Le Corbusier’s completed architectural works and a multimedia, online oral history chronicling the efforts to build housing for homeless individuals living with HIV and AIDS in New York City are among the newest projects to receive individual grants from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, the foundation announced last night at the historic Madlener House in Chicago.
In its first major grant announcement of 2015, the Graham Foundation will award over $490,000 to support 63 outstanding projects by individuals that engage original ideas in architecture. Among the funded projects are exhibitions, publications, multimedia archives, documentary films, podcasts, symposia, participatory workshops, and live performances. These diverse projects advance new scholarship in the field of architecture, fuel creative experimentation and critical dialogue, and expand opportunities for public engagement with architecture and its role in contemporary society.
The new grantees comprise a diverse group of architects, artists, designers, filmmakers, scholars, educators, curators, and writers around the world in cities such as Istanbul, Montreal, Tokyo, and Chicago, where the Graham Foundation is based. Last night, the Graham Foundation hosted a public reception and presentations by four of the newly named grantees–Tiffany Lambert (New York, NY), Noritaka Minami (Cambridge, MA), Lluís Ortega (Chicago, IL), and Candacy Taylor (Los Angeles, CA)–who discussed their supported work in progress.

As a Presenting Partner of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, we are excited to share the announcement of the Lakefront Kiosk Competition: an international, open submission competition that calls for a designer to realize an innovative architectural work on the shoreline of Lake Michigan. The new kiosk – a work of micro-architecture – will be installed on the Chicago’s lakefront and featured in Millennium Park as part of the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial (October 2015 – January 2016).
A jury of architects, curators, and city representatives will select one winner to receive the BP Prize, which includes an honorarium for design development and a construction budget to realize the design.

Chicago Architecture Biennial Announces Title and First Commission of Inaugural Edition
Oct 31, 2014
THE STATE OF THE ART OF ARCHITECTURE
As a Presenting Partner of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, the Graham Foundation is pleased to announce The State of the Art of Architecture as the title of the inaugural Biennial, which will take place from October 2015 to January 2016. Curated by Co-Artistic Directors Joseph Grima and Sarah Herda, the Biennial’s program of exhibitions and events will provide a platform for groundbreaking architectural projects and spatial experiments.
Presenting the largest international survey of contemporary architecture in North America, the Chicago Architecture Biennial will be a nexus of ideas, and a global stage for debate and discourse. This inaugural event will explore the ambitions, challenges, and possibilities fueling architectural imagination and steering the future of the field.
The title The State of the Art of Architecture takes its name from a 1977 conference organized by architect Stanley Tigerman, which invited leading American designers to Chicago to present and discuss the current state of the field. The 2015 Chicago Architecture Biennial will expand the spirit and scope of this event, inviting an international and intergenerational architectural network to Chicago to explore how visionary design can take on the most pressing issues of today.
The Graham Foundation is also pleased to announce the Biennial’s first commission, a photo essay on Chicago by world-renowned photographer Iwan Baan. Baan has transformed the practice of architectural photography, investigating architecture as a stage for everyday life. The first samples from this commission can be viewed on the Chicago Architecture Biennial website.

G. Garden. The Madlener House was restored in 1963 to become the Graham’s headquarters and features two floors of exhibition space, original art glass windows, and a courtyard garden that showcases our significant collection of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century architectural fragments.

Graham Foundation Announces the 2014 Carter Manny Award Recipients
Sep 11, 2014
The Graham Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2014 Carter Manny Award for PhD dissertation writing and research. Since the establishment of this award in 1996, the Graham Foundation has awarded over $672,000 to support promising scholars whose doctoral projects shape contemporary discourse about architecture and significantly impact the field. Two Carter Manny Awards are given each year, one for dissertation writing and one for dissertation research.
The recipient of the 2014 Carter Manny Award for writing and a $20,000 award is Anna Goodman, a PhD candidate in architecture at the University of California, Berkeley. Goodman’s dissertation, Citizen Architects: Ethics, Education, and the Construction of a Profession, 1933-2013, explores the genesis of community design-build education as a model for ethical and professional practice in 20th-century American architecture.
The recipient of the 2014 Carter Manny Award for research and a $15,000 award is Steven Lauritano, a PhD candidate in the history of art at Yale University. Lauritano’s dissertation, Embedded Remnants in Modern Architecture: Karl Friedrich Schinkel and the Historiography of Remains, recovers the critical vocabulary of architectural remains to furnish a new method for reading 19th-century historicist design.
Additionally, five students merited Citations of Special Recognition for their doctoral dissertations. These projects are acknowledged for their critical study of a diverse range of topics in architecture, including an exploration of the pervasive use of concrete in the American occupation of the Philippines as representative of a new form of colonial governance; and an investigation of how the evolution and endurance of the Hadrianic Baths as a Roman civic institution expands our definitions of architectural monumentality.
These outstanding projects were selected after a competitive review of 40 applications from doctoral students throughout the U.S. and Canada who were nominated by their departments for the award. This year’s review panelists were Eva Diaz (History of Art and Design, Pratt Institute); Simon Sadler (Department of Design, University of California, Davis); and Despina Stratigakos (School of Architecture and Planning, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York).
This annual award is given in honor of Carter H. Manny and his long and distinguished service to the foundation since its inception in 1956, first as a Trustee, then as the Director from 1971, and since his retirement in 1993, as Director Emeritus.
