Wheelwright Prize: annual Award open to architects worldwide
Премия Wheelwright Prize присуждалась молодым талантливым архитекторам – выпускникам Школы дизайна Гарвардского университета с 1935 года. Но уже четвертый год подряд организаторы приглашают к участию молодых специалистов со всего мира, окончивших вузы не ранее 2001 года. Участнику необходимо предложить программу практического архитектурного исследования для проведения за пределами страны его проживания. Победитель получит грант в размере $100 000 на реализацию своего исследовательского проекта. Претендентам на премию также необходимо представить жюри свое резюме, портфолио и детальный маршрут предполагаемого путешествия.
The Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) is pleased to announce the fourth round of the Wheelwright Prize, an open international competition that awards $100,000 to a talented early-career architect to support travel-based research. The 2016 Wheelwright Prize is now accepting applications; the deadline for submissions is February 8, 2016. This annual prize is dedicated to fostering new forms of architectural research informed by cross-cultural engagement.
The Wheelwright Prize is open to emerging architects practicing anywhere in the world. The primary eligibility requirement is that applicants must have received a degree from a professionally accredited architecture program in the past 15 years (after 2001). An affiliation to the GSD is not required. Applicants are asked to submit a portfolio, a research proposal, and a travel itinerary that takes them outside their country of residence.
In 2013, Harvard GSD revamped the Arthur W. Wheelwright Traveling Fellowship, which was established in 1935 in memory of Wheelwright, Class of 1887. Intended to encourage the study of architecture outside the United States at a time when international travel was difficult, the award was available only to GSD alumni; past fellows have included Paul Rudolph, Eliot Noyes, William Wurster, Christopher Tunnard, I. M. Pei, Farès el-Dahdah, Adele Santos, and Linda Pollak.
