Description
The Arnold W. Brunner Grant, administered by AIA New York, supports advanced investigation in architecture and related fields. Established by Emma B. Brunner in the early 1950s in memory of architect Arnold William Brunner, it advances study that contributes to the knowledge, teaching, or practice of the art and science of architecture. The program is directed toward mid-career architects, including academics.
Rather than concentrating on a single subject, the grant emphasizes contemporary architectural questions, current local and global issues, and a useful end product. Past supported investigations include climate-adaptive building practices using local and renewable materials, cooperative housing, architectural education, community-based preservation, public space, architectural acoustics, and nature-based technologies.
