On behalf of Robert A.M. Stern Architects and the RAMSA Fellowship Jury:
We are pleased to announce the twelfth annual RAMSA Fellowship, a $15,000 prize awarded by Robert A.M. Stern Architects for travel and research. The fellowship promotes investigations into the perpetuation of tradition through invention and is given to an individual who has proven insight and interest in the profession and its future, as well as the ability to carry forth in-depth research. Past recipients have traveled to Austria, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Morocco, Poland, Romania, Scotland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, and various cities in the United States where they have studied a wide range of topics.
Fellows complete their travel in the summer and present their research to RAMSA staff the following spring. The fellowship includes an optional residency program in addition to the travel and research prize. The program provides fellows with a stipend to fund a two-week-long residency at RAMSA’s office in New York City before or after their travel. During the residency, fellows develop their research project with the support of RAMSA staff and resources.
Students in the penultimate year of a graduate-level degree program in architecture or a related discipline at an NAAB-accredited school are eligible for the prize, and there is no limit to the number of students who may apply from each school.
Submission information and application materials are available on our website at www.ramsa.com/fellowship. Complete applications include a research proposal, a portfolio, and the registration forms, which must be signed by a school dean or department chair to verify enrollment. Applications are due on March 27, 2024 and the jury will announce the winner in May.
