The $25,000 fellowship is "an opportunity for landscape architecture professionals to dedicate the equivalent of 3 months' time over the course of one year to nurture emerging ideas and to think deeply [...] Each year, 3-4 mid-career and senior-level fellowships are awarded through a competitive application process based on a proposed project."
In addition to receiving a $25,000 financial award, selected applicants participate in monthly conference calls and three 2.5-day residencies over the course of the year. Projects must show the potential to "bring about impactful change to the environment and humanity and have the capacity to grow the leadership of landscape architects."
Recent past projects have focused on agro-forestry (Amy Whitesides, Harvard University), STEM advocacy for landscape architecture (Brad Howe, SCAPE), creating an atlas linking local public policy and shared landscapes (Aaron Hernandez, Reed Hilderbrand), and considering the transition of public land from infrastructure to recreational use (Anya Domlesky, SWA Group).
