The Graham Foundation has just announced its field of winners for the 26th edition of the Carter Manny Awards, which annually recognizes emerging talent in the field of doctoral dissertation writing as well as research into architecture and design. Named for the Foundation's longtime director emeritus, the award promotes itself as “the only predoctoral award dedicated to architectural scholarship” and supports “projects that are poised to impact how architecture is studied and practiced.”
This year’s winners dissected the role of architecture as it relates to the arts, culture, and society.
University of Michigan's Taubman College doctoral candidate Dicle Taskin took home the Writing Award for her dissertation on Pan-Americanism and the post-war development of infrastructure networks through a geopolitical lens. She was joined by Columbia GSAPP doctoral candidate Robin Hartanto Honggare, who was given the Research Award for an investigation into the colonial plantation system in East Sumatra between 1869 and 1942.
The jury panel also announced citation awards, which went to the following:
