Joan Ockman: Graham Foundation Grant

Joan Ockman, lecturer and Distinguished Senior Fellow in the department of architecture at PennDesign, received a Graham Foundation award in the category of publications for Architecture among Other Things, which gathers 25 essays and occasional pieces written by the author over the course of her career as an architectural critic, historian and educator. Treating a wide range of topics—from Tafuri to Times Square, Gehry to Ground Zero, the Seagram Building to the Seattle Library—the collection reflects on architecture’s adjacency to other things, on architecture as a thing, on the relationship between intellectual and material work, on the need for imagination and on the necessity of architectural criticism today. The Graham Foundation will award over $490,000 to support 63 outstanding projects.
