Submissions
Please note that the deadline for submissions to the 2018 Rieger Graham Prize application has passed.
Application Documents
The applicant must submit a proposal for a project involving research, documentation and design, showing how the applicant sees fit to explore Rome in the best way possible for his/her career development. The foremost priority in choosing the Prize recipient will be the project’s link to the opportunity to learn from Rome and its environs in situ.
Application documents must include:
- Cover letter
- Current resume or CV describing educational credentials and related professional experience
- Statement of Intent — a proposal not to exceed three pages in length, which describes how the applicant see fit to explore Rome in the best way possible for his/her career development
- One (1) letter of recommendation from teachers or professionals
- Samples from past work, (no more than ten (10) images, photographs, or drawings) whether accomplished in school or in the field as a practicing professional
All submission materials should be submitted by email to Edith Platten at: [email protected]. Hard copy applications will not be accepted.
Criteria
In addition to the merits of the project proposal and personal credentials, the jury will look for exceptional and demonstrable skill as measured by samples submitted from past work.
The jury will judge such talent against the complementary Vitruvian ideals of strength, function and beauty as revealed by both the conception of the design samples and their manual execution.
Theoretical as well as practical merit will thus determine the selected fellow.
Requirements
After completing study in Rome, the Prize winner will be required to submit some tangible or publishable result from his/her experience, which will be the property of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and which can be featured in Institute publications and/or exhibitions as applicable.
The winner’s encounter with the classical past must be documented through finished drawings or through other presentation media of designs or documentation which explore the lessons learned from Rome.
All work from the Prize must be completed within six months of the end of the residency in Rome.
Eligibility
Candidates must have received a four or five year Bachelor of Architecture degree, Master of Architecture degree, or Master of Fine Arts degree prior to the fellowship. The prize will be limited to United States citizens.
Timetable
The proposed three-month stay must begin between September of the prize year and May of the following year.
