Description
The Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) offers this fellowship for recent graduates and emerging scholars to experience architecture and landscapes firsthand. Created through a 2010 bequest from architectural historian H. Allen Brooks, it supports three to twelve months of continuous travel in any country or countries. Fellows may observe, read, write, photograph, and sketch while developing their understanding of the built environment.
The fellowship supports personal enrichment and growth, not research for an advanced academic degree or publication. Its goals are to encourage deep reflection on the recipient’s profession and the acquisition of knowledge useful to future work, professional contributions, and society. Partial-year itineraries broaden access for applicants unable to undertake a full year of travel.
