The Graham Foundation is pleased to announce the award of $534,850 for new grants to individuals around the world to support 74 projects engaging original ideas that advance our understanding of the designed environment. The funded projects include exhibitions, publications, films, new media works, and site-specific installations that promote rigorous scholarship, stimulate experimentation, and foster critical discourse in architecture.

The funded projects were selected from over 600 proposals and represent a diverse group of individuals and collectives, totaling 74 projects undertaken by 111 collaborators. The projects are helmed by architects, artists, choreographers, historians, and filmmakers, who hail from around the world, representing cities such as Milan, Italy; Phnom Penh, Cambodia; Tallinn, Estonia; Kampala, Uganda; and Chicago, IL, where the Graham Foundation is based. The new grantees join a worldwide network of individuals and institutions that the Graham Foundation has supported through the award of more than 4,400 grants over the past 62 years in its role as one of the most significant funders in the field of architecture.
