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, or 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. All candidates for New York Prize Fellowships must apply to one of these project areas.
