This year’s list of grants to organizations from the Graham Foundation includes 33 projects worth $390,000. As always, the money will be put toward various endeavors that foster an exchange of ideas about architecture and the areas of culture affected by it in unison with the Chicago-based Foundation’s organizing mission. A total of 12 exhibitions, 13 publications, 5 public programs, and 3 film/video productions were selected. The Graham Foundation now says it has awarded some $44 million since the program was founded in 1956.
In this year’s list, you’ll find examinations of the role of craft, feminism, and ethical considerations in architecture, as well as many prescient reflections on the field's relationship to society and urban life. Among those opening in September include the Swiss Institute’s Energies exhibition and the upcoming Paul Rudolph retrospective in New York — The Met's first major show about modern architecture in more than 50 years.
Student-led journals from Rice and UCLA were another vital inclusion. Links to each project in the 2024 cycle can be found in the list below.
