Richard Solomon, Director of the Graham Foundation from 1993 to 2005, was a consummate professional whose thoughtful and careful consideration of informed and creative architectural discourse contributed immeasurably to a far-reaching architectural community.
Richard had a particularly deep interest in architectural journalism. Whether through support of a student publication or an emerging or mature journal in the field, he sought to assure the highest standard and breadth of architectural journalism. This commitment is evident in Richard's generous bequest of $50,000, in the form of a challenge grant, to the Graham Foundation in support of architectural journalism.
Owing to the generosity and kindness of friends and colleagues of the Graham Foundation, we are pleased to announce that we have met and surpassed Richard’s challenge. We are currently working to establish the The Richard Solomon Award for Architectural Journalism.
