The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has opened applications for the 2022 Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship.
The scholarship seeks to reward one outstanding architecture student and fund their travel to research the sustainable survival of cities and towns.
A £7,000 grant will be awarded to the winner, decided by a panel of judges including Lord Foster and RIBA President Simon Allford.
Lord Foster said: “As a student I won a prize that allowed me to spend a summer travelling through Europe and to study first hand buildings and cities that I knew only from the pages of books. It was a revelation – liberating and exhilarating in so many ways.
“Today it is the privilege of the Norman Foster Foundation to support the RIBA Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship, which I hope will have a lasting legacy – offering the chance for discovery and the inspiration for exciting new work – for generations to come.”
RIBA President Simon Allford added: “The Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship, now in its 16th year, has enabled many talented architecture students to explore the sustainable development of cities and towns around the world.
“I would like to add my thanks to the Norman Foster Foundation for their continued generosity in funding this important initiative, which both opens up how we see the world and helps make our profession ever more accessible.”
Applications are open to students who are enrolled in, or have successfully completed, the first year of a professional qualification in architecture, in one of the higher education institutions invited to participate.
The deadline for submissions is 17:00 (GMT) Tuesday 7 June 2022. For more information visit here.
