THE ROBERT ADAM ROME SCHOLARSHIP IN ARCHITECTURE is awarded to an architect or scholar to study the tradition and evolution of classical architecture in Rome and Italy, which could include associated urban form. The successful candidate will spend three months at the BSR undertaking a self-directed programme of research. This research — related to the city of Rome or elsewhere in Italy — may take the form of research, measurement or drawing, a theoretical study, an historical investigation or a combination of all four, all related to the tradition and evolution of classical architecture. It will include a final report or portfolio that can be published with the specific objective of informing current architectural practice. The award-holder will have access to the extensive collections of the BSR Library and Archive and will join our community of artists and scholars, contributing to and benefitting from the intellectual and social exchange that is a fundamental part of life at the BSR.

The scholarship offers:

-board and accommodation in a study-bedroom

-a monthly research and travel grant of £800

-duration: 3 months (January-March or April-June 2025)
