Giles Worsley, the distinguished architectural historian and critic, died of
cancer in 2006 at the age of 44. He was an enthusiastic visitor to Italy and
a great believer in the importance of Italian architecture of all periods in
understanding the development of Western architecture. He was concerned that
architecture schools do not give adequate emphasis to the teaching of
architectural history and that architectural historians should be
encouraged to experience the reality of influential Italian buildings.

Each year, the Fellowship will be awarded to an architect or architectural
historian, who will spend three months (October to December) at the British
School at Rome, studying an architectural topic of their choice. Travel,
accommodation and board and a monthly stipend of £700 will be provided.
Each Fellow will be required to deliver a public presentation on their
return.
