ROME SCHOLARSHIP IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
ROME SCHOLARSHIP IN ARCHITECTURE
 
APPLICATIONS ARE INVITED from those working in the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning and environmental design for a residency at the British School at Rome (BSR). Two residencies are available for between three and nine months. Such residencies offer a valuable opportunity to develop and research work within the context of Rome. They include accommodation, full board and a research grant.

The Rome Scholarship in Architecture is an annual prize awarded to exceptional architects or post-Part II students of architecture to enable them to study under their own direction at the BSR. Scholars are encouraged to select subjects for study in the fields of architecture or urbanism that are of contemporary significance but that will benefit from examination in the context of Rome or Italy.

The Rome Scholarship in Landscape Architecture is being offered to encourage a recent graduate or an individual in mid-career to propose a contemporary response to the Roman landscape and to pursue a topic with direct bearing on modern design in the landscape.

The Scholarships offer:
-  a grant equivalent to £500 per month
-  duration: between 3 and 9 months.

Applicants must:
-  be of British or Commonwealth nationality, or have been working professionally or studying at postgraduate level for at least the last 3 years in the UK or Commonwealth (i.e. since December 2005).

How to apply:
Complete and send the application form + curriculum vitae (and any supporting texts) to the address given on the form by 27 March 2009.  (N.B. Applications by fax and e-mail will not be accepted.) Short-listed applicants will be interviewed in London.

Selection for these Scholarships is by members of the Faculty of the Fine Arts of the BSR.

Application forms and information about all BSR awards can be downloaded from our website (www.bsr.ac.uk) or are available from:
