IRS990/Desc0Van Alen CompetitionsSince 1894, Van Alen Institute has sponsored public design competitions identifying critical issues and developing partnerships that engage the public sphere. Van Alen Institute has initiated and collaborated on some of New York's most innovative open-call public design competitions, addressing sites ranging from Wall Street,and Times Square to Governor's Island and Gateway National Recreation Area. In 2013, Van Alen was a partner in the Rebuild By Design competition, which was an initiative of the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force and the U.S. Department of Housing and urban Development aimed at addressing structure and environmental vulnerabilities that Hurricane Sandy exposed in communities through the region. The competition received proposals from ten design teams that were comprised of experts from across planning, design, engineering and science to critically consider the task of rebuilding. Also in 2013, Van Alen partnered with the Times Square Alliance in a competition for their annual Valentine Heart Design, which is showcased in Times Square over Valentines Day. Additionally, Van Alen worked on Changing Course, a design initiative for the lower Mississippi River Delta in collaboration with the Environmental Defense Fund.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0In 2013, Van Alen launched its weeklong festival style program series developed around a thematic issue. In 2013, the events explored the concept of Elsewhere through a series of creative explorations of life and well-being in urban environments, and how and why city-dwellers contemplate escape. We hosted eight programs at Van Alen, on topics ranging from the role of cities to biographies of pioneers in urban planning. With over 500 individuals attending, this was the first season of what will be a multi-year exploration of the urban environment as a place to escape both to and from.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Van Alen Books, an architecture and design bookstore and event space located on the ground floor of Van Alens headquarters building, opened in April 2011 and provides an additional public platform. This highly visible storefront space is New York Citys only book emporium and gathering place devoted singularly to architecture and design publications. Beyond its role as a destination bookstore, this dynamic space offers a place where books are read and debated through a curatorial program exploring the past and future of architectural publishing. Events include debates, discussions, and book launches with an international cast of architects, critics, scholars, and others. Since it opened, Van Alen Books has been visited by over 25,000 individuals. It hosted over 75 events each year, attracting nearly 2,500 annual event attendees. The bookstore closed in the spring of 2014.
