In its first major grant announcement of 2015, the Graham Foundation will award over 490,000 USD 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 awarded projects were selected from a competitive pool of 600 submissions from individuals representing 36 countries. 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. They join an international network of individuals and institutions that the Graham Foundation has supported over the past 59 years in its role as one of the most significant funders in the field of architecture.
