This year, over $500,000 will be awarded to local, national, and international individual grantees whose projects foster the development and exchange of diverse and challenging ideas about architecture and its role in the arts, culture, and society. The grants will provide direct support to 60 projects, including publications, exhibitions, films, new media initiatives, and other programs that reach public audiences and promote new discourse about architecture. Look for the special announcement of these new grants on May 29.

Lebbeus Woods, Pamphlet Architecture #6. 

The Graham Foundation bookshop is now carrying a special reprint edition of Pamphlet Architecture 6, as originally designed by architect Lebbeus Woods in 1980. Featuring Wood’s ideas for a monolithic “Einstein’s Tomb” in outer space, the issue also includes a new poem by Susan Stewart commissioned to commemorate Wood’s death in 2012. Initiated in 1977 as an independent venue to criticize, question, and exchange views of a new generation of architects, each issue of The Pamphlet Architecture series is compiled by an individual author-architect.
