Description

The Graham Foundation’s Carter Manny Award honors outstanding doctoral dissertations that focus on architecture and its broader impact on arts, culture, and society. This annual award program is dedicated exclusively to predoctoral architectural scholarship and recognizes emerging scholars whose research demonstrates originality and the potential to reshape contemporary architectural discourse. Projects may be rooted in architecture or intersect with related areas such as art history, design, engineering, landscape architecture, urbanism, and the humanities. Each year, the Foundation offers two awards: one for research and one for writing, both intended to advance work that aligns with the Foundation’s mission to foster critical inquiry and innovation in the field.
