The Institute initiated the Paris Prize program in 1904 to promote the advancement of the art of architecture through supporting study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts for one annual recipient. Complemented by a rigorous and highly competitive atelier-based program "whose terms soon defined the design curriculum for every American school," the Paris Prize and its affiliated fellowships positioned the Institute as a critical liaison between architectural education and practice (Gwendolyn Wright, The History of History in American Schools of Architecture, Princeton Architectural Press: 1990, 23).
As the National Institute for Architectural Education, the Institute expanded its awards program and scope of design methodologies to include the Van Alen Prize and the Dinkeloo Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. These opportunities for eliciting and supporting diverse and imaginative design work enabled both students and young practitioners to deepen and enrich their architectural investigations beyond the academic sphere.
Today, the Institute focuses its work on the evolving role of architecture in the public realm. A three-year fellowship program that supported research and experimental practices that challenged and expanded conventional definitions of public architecture, the New York Prize Fellowship (2007-2010), has just reached its completion.
Van Alen Institute periodically announces fellowship and research opportunities. If you would like to be added to our announcement mailing list, please contact us at vai@vanalen.org.

For over a century, Van Alen Institute has fostered design innovation and excellence through a legacy of competitions, prizes, and fellowships that cultivate architecture as a creative practice with expansive public consequence.
The Institute initiated the Paris Prize program in 1904 to promote the advancement of the art of architecture through supporting study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts for one annual recipient. Complemented by a rigorous and highly competitive atelier-based program "whose terms soon defined the design curriculum for every American school," the Paris Prize and its affiliated fellowships positioned the Institute as a critical liaison between architectural education and practice (Gwendolyn Wright, The History of History in American Schools of Architecture, Princeton Architectural Press: 1990, 23).
As the National Institute for Architectural Education, the Institute expanded its awards program and scope of design methodologies to include the Van Alen Prize and the Dinkeloo Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. These opportunities for eliciting and supporting diverse and imaginative design work enabled both students and young practitioners to deepen and enrich their architectural investigations beyond the academic sphere.
Today, the Institute focuses its work on the evolving role of architecture in the public realm. Established in 2007 to reflect the Institute's commitment to bridging critical inquiry and public design, the New York Prize Fellowship offers an international, multi-disciplinary fellowship for emerging practitioners and scholars working on the most significant issues for public life in the built environment.
