Description
Van Alen Institute Fellows' projects are organized into five project areas: Land Use and Development, Forms and Materials, Information and Communication, Systems and Ecology, and Culture and Politics. Project areas serve as elastic fields for newly charted lines of inquiry, and together they compose a flexible 'curriculum' that is structured across disciplinary, professional and methodological divides.
Van Alen Institute New York Prize resident fellows are based at the Institute for periods of three months in the fall, spring and summer of 2008-2009 during which time they pursue research and present public projects on critical issues concerning the design and use of public space today.
