robert adam rome scholarship in architecture

THE ROBERT ADAM ROME SCHOLARSHIP IN ARCHITECTURE offers architects and scholars the opportunity to explore the tradition and evolution of classical architecture in Rome and across Italy, including its relationship to urban form. The scholarship provides a three-month residency at the British School at Rome (BSR), where the award-holder will pursue a self-directed programme of research. This may take many forms — from drawing, measuring, or design studies, to theoretical or historical investigations, or a combination of these approaches — all centred on the tradition and development of classical architecture. The award-holder will have privileged access to the BSR’s renowned Library and Archive, and will join its vibrant community of artists and scholars — benefitting from, and contributing to, the rich intellectual and social exchange that lies at the heart of life at the BSR.

At the end of the residency, the scholar will produce a final report or portfolio with the specific aim of informing and inspiring contemporary architectural practice.

We would welcome applications from individuals whose backgrounds are underrepresented at the BSR.
