The 2015 Graham Foundation Grant recipients

The Graham Foundation celebrated the 2015 grant recipients at an evening ceremony and reception at the historic Madlener House, the Foundation's Chicago-based headquarters. The Foundation awarded a total of US$490,000 to 63 projects by individuals that engage in original approaches in the field of architecture. The list of presenters included 2015 grantees Noritaka Minami, Candace Taylor, Lluis Ortega, and Tiffany Lambert.

The projects were chosen for their potential to advance creative experimentation, incite critical dialogue, encourage new scholarship, as well as provide more opportunties for public engagement in architecture. A variety of exhibitions, publications, archives, documentary films, podcasts, live performances, workshops, and symposia received funding.

A few of this year's many grantees include Olafur Eliasson, Charles Rice, Didier Faustino, Kersteen Geers, Iwan Baan, Jesse Reiser + Nanako Umemoto, and Craig Hodgetts.
