2018 Steedman Fellowship ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION

2018 Steedman Fellowship

BRIEF

Our urban environment is shaped not only by its buildings and public spaces, but also by its infrastructure—the fundamental systems, facilities, and services that enable, sustain, and enhance societal living conditions. Infrastructure may be large public services elements such as power plants, roads, and bridges. It may also be small domestic systems or technological components enabling different kinds of human interaction or environmental impact. Or it may be blue-green infrastructure networks of natural ecosystems for water management and long-term sustainability and resilience. At all scales and manifestations, infrastructural elements are increasingly important subjects of design investigation. No longer thrust to the margins of cities, campuses, and communities, they have emerged as important actors in the design of our individual and collective environments.

The Steedman 2018 jury seeks creative research proposals on the design impact and potential for infrastructures to positively contribute to a sustainable urban future. Registration is now open. Proposals are due November 1, 2018.

SCHEDULE

Proposals are due November 1, 2018.

FEES

All applications must be submitted in English online via the Slideroom link. The application fee is $75.
