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.”
