Architecture
Architecture has played a fundamental and critical role at the BSR since its foundation in 1901. Studied both as a scholarly and practical subject, its scope is now understood to include all aspects of the design of the physical environment and its preservation: buildings; interiors; landscape; urban design and planning; transport; infrastructure, and the conservation of historic heritage.
Currently, architecture at the BSR is supported by the Rome Scholarship in Architecture, the Robert Adam Rome Scholarship in Architecture, the Giles Worsley Rome Fellowship, the Conseil des Artes e des Lettres du Québec Residency and the Nicholas Boas Travel Scholarship. Other awards in the humanities at the BSR support both Early Career Scholars and Senior Fellows focusing on architectural history, as well as Fine Arts Residencies, with research interests that may encompass or intersect with architecture. Finally, the Paul Mellon Rome Fellowship is open to post-doctoral architecture scholars.
Award-holders in architecture draw from and contribute to the BSR’s uniquely lively and engaged intellectual environment, including the possibility to enhance their own practice and research skills. Equally important is the opportunity to immerse themselves in a city of historical and contemporary significance.
