Van Alen Institute is an independent nonprofit architectural organization whose mission is to promote inquiry into the processes that shape the design of the public realm. For over a century, Van Alen Institute has cultivated a fellowship of design practitioners and scholars, awarded excellence in design, and fostered dialogue about the evolving role of architecture in the public realm. The Institute's community of fellows, members, participants and public audiences is an integral part of that dialogue, shaping and expanding our definition of 'public architecture' and its impact on contemporary civic life.
