Description: Award is granted biannually to an emerging architect to support 6-12 months of international travel for architectural research. The 2021 Theme is Disruption. We are living in disruptive times…defined by climate crisis driving unprecedented current and future weather extremes and an ongoing global pandemic, alongside centuries of systemic racism in stark need of addressing. Radical solutions are required at all scales and systems. How does Architecture–in all its modalities–disrupt and drive change? How can architecture have a measurable impact? What are the disruptions to define the next decade? And will they redefine design? The Steedman is an award that fosters international research in architecture through investigations outside of one’s home country. In light of the COVID-19 and climate crises, extra consideration will be given to creative proposals that minimize carbon footprint. See website for more info.
