On July 21, 2020 at 6:00pm Eastern Time, 2019 RAMSA Prize recipients Brenna Decker and Caitlin B. Getman, will discuss their travels throughout southern Japan to catalogue and analyze six preserved samurai districts. Now in its fifth year, the RAMSA Prize is a $6,000 grant awarded annually by the partners of Robert A.M. Stern Architects to individuals within the firm for the purpose of travel and research. This two-week-long fellowship promotes explorations into a location’s sense of place and is intended to encourage RAMSA design staff to engage in targeted research into a city, town, or place, in a way that can meaningfully inform design work. In addition, the prize allows staff to pursue personal interests as an extension of the firm’s research-based design principles.
