Overview
The Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment has established a Graduate Fellowship to meet the need for the next generation of architects and designers who will evolve traditional architecture and urbanism in response to the global climate and urbanisation challenges. We believe that comprehensive and practical action is needed to train designers who can evolve traditional approaches to planning and designing in response to our contemporary ecological crisis.
Program detail
The two-year programme begins with a three-week residential summer school. This unique event will provide an introduction to the holistic approach to planning, designing and building practised at The Foundation, and will provide an intensive course in key skills such as drawing, painting, design, construction and the implementation of traditional urbanism. The Fellows will then be attached to departments of The Foundation and work within one of three, multidisciplinary teams of urban designers, architects and facilitators, promoting and implementing traditional urbanism. Subject to availability, Fellows will participate in an Enquiry by Design (a unique, practical tool for engaging partners in a design-led process) and in major educational events. Fellows will also work on research projects, help to produce events, and write and produce reports and design studies. Fellows will be exposed to many of the world’s leading urbanists, traditional architects and transport reformers through a regular masterclass programme.
Value of this Fellowships
From August 2011, subject to performance and economic conditions, the Fellows will be seconded for one year to an appropriate architectural or planning practice. During that summer, they will also be expected to spend a week at the residential summer school, sharing their expertise through teaching craft students and architects how to apply traditional building techniques to architectural processes and urban interventions. The Graduate Fellowship commences in July 2010 and attracts an annual salary of £20,000.
