Ms. Remmel will receive an award of $15,000 to assist with her dissertation, "The Origins of the American School Building: Boston Public School Architecture, 1800-1860.” <BR/> <BR/>Also awarded were two Trustees’ Merit Citations and $10,000 each to Vincent L. Michael of the <BR/>Art History Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago, working on “Motives and Methods in Historic District Preservation: The Role of the Community and the Academy”; and to M. Ijlal Muzaffar, a student in the School of Architecture and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology whose doctoral thesis is on “The Periphery Within: Modern Architecture and the Making of the Third World.” <BR/><BR/>The Board of Trustees also acknowledged the work of eight students with Citations of Special Recognition. <BR/><BR/>The complete list of award recipients is below.<BR/><BR/>The Carter Manny Award competition was initiated in 1996 to honor Carter H. Manny, Jr., who served as Director of the Graham Foundation for twenty-three years and was known for his dedication to the support of young scholars and their work. The annual award competition funds the research and writing of academic dissertations by promising scholars who are candidates for a doctoral degree and whose dissertations focus on topics directly concerned with architecture or with other arts that are immediately contributive to the study of architecture. <BR/><BR/>This annual award program is one of the few sources of substantial funding for doctoral-level work on architectural topics. Each year the competition attracts outstanding proposals from doctoral students enrolled in schools in the U.S. and Canada who were nominated by their departments to apply for the award. The Manny award competition is an excellent indicator of the diversity and quality of work being undertaken by students at the Ph.D. level. The studies being pursued by the 2005 finalists, for example, range from work on the telephone’s influence on the urban form of Los Angeles to an investigation of the modernization of Cuba under an authoritarian political regime to experiments on environmental wayfinding among adults with intellectual disabilities. <BR/><BR/>Rachel Remmel, the recipient of the 2005 Award, is pursuing an examination of Boston public school architecture in the 19th century. The focus of her study is the Quincy School, a graded school whose multiple, small-scale, uniform classrooms became the model for American school architecture. Studying school design in the context of contemporary pedagogical theories and socializing and governmental institutions, Ms. Remmel seeks to explain why, “given the diversity of early 19th-century school types, the graded school emerged as the central enduring architectural form.” Having completed her research in the archives and libraries of Boston, Ms. Remmel will be assisted by the Manny award as she finishes writing her thesis. <BR/><BR/>For a list of prior recipients of the Carter Manny Award and for further general information about the Award, please consult the Graham Foundation’s web site, www.grahamfoundation.org. <BR/> <BR/>GRAHAM FOUNDATION <BR/>2005 CARTER MANNY AWARD FINALISTS<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>CARTER MANNY AWARD WINNER<BR/><BR/>Rachel Remmel<BR/>Dept. of Art History<BR/>University of Chicago<BR/>The Origins of the American School Building: Boston Public School Architecture, 1800-1860<BR/><BR/><BR/>TRUSTEES’ MERIT CITATION<BR/><BR/>Vincent L.
