Description
The Delano & Aldrich/Emerson Fellowship is an annual program established by the American Institute of Architects to support a French architect’s travel and study in the United States. Since 1930, the fellowship has aimed to foster cultural and professional exchange by enabling a young French architect to explore architecture, urbanism, landscape, and interior design in the U.S. The program is funded by an endowment and coordinated by both French and American AIA committees, offering recipients professional support and networking opportunities during their stay.
