YSoA Faculty & Alumni Awarded Graham Foundation Grants
Yale faculty and alumni have been awarded grants by the Graham Foundation, which selected recipients from over 600 applications. The grants support work in a variety of formats including exhibitions, publications, and events.
Senior critic Christopher Hawthorne (BA ’93) received a grant to support his new online publication, Punch List, which aims to fill a gap in architecture criticism by offering carefully considered, deeply informed critical writing on architecture and related fields that is distinct from both marketing and snark in a weekly newsletter. Sarah Oppenheimer (MFA ’99), professor in the practice at the School of Art, received a grant to support the exhibition N-06 at the Arts Club of Chicago in 2027, which investigates how the redistribution of spatial control alters perceptions of agency and how temporal structures shape collective behavior.
Lina Ghotmeh, Fall 2021 Louis I. Kahn Visiting Professor, is the subject of a grant-receiving book authored by Ilaria Di Carlo and Daria Ricchi, Sympoietic Architecture: Making With Lina Ghotmeh. Spring 2025 Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professors Kabage Karanja and Stella Mutegi are recipients, with Owen Hopkins and Kathryn Yusoff, of a grant to support the publication Architecture as an Earth Practice (Park Books, 2027).
The book project Trans Reconstruction: Roberta Dickinson’s Disobedient Archive, by Adrienne Economos-Miller (MArch ’20) and M.C. Overholt (MED ’21), “interprets the architectural, activist, and artistic production of transgender designer Roberta Dickinson (1916–1982) as a way to reread architectural history, connecting it to radical political practice and trans history and theory.”
Alex Maymind (MArch ’09), Lauren McQuistion, and David Turturo (PhD ’22) received a grant to support the project Skyline: Rereading an Architectural Tabloid. Taking the publication of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies as a starting point, the project “reconsiders Skyline as an ephemeral landmark for the contemporary publishing landscape.” The project gathers firsthand perspectives about actors and media contexts to assist in the assembling of selected texts to be republished in a subsequent anthology.
