Description
Administered by AIA New York / Center for Architecture, the Arnold W. Brunner Grant supports advanced study in architecture and related fields. Emma B. Brunner established the grant in the early 1950s in honor of her husband, architect Arnold William Brunner. The program supports mid-career architectural investigation that contributes meaningfully to the knowledge, teaching, or practice of the art and science of architecture.
Proposals should engage contemporary architectural questions, address current local and global issues, and produce a useful end product. Past funded work spans climate-adaptive building practices, renewable materials, cooperative housing, architectural education, community-based preservation, public space, architectural history, and acoustic solutions. Projects may take place internationally, provided they explain their relevance to the Center for Architecture in New York City.
