The British School at Rome is inviting applications for two awards: the Giles Worsley Rome Fellowship, and the Rome Scholarship in Architecture.

The application deadline for the British School at Rome’s Giles Worsley Rome Fellowship, and Rome Scholarship in Architecture is 11 December 2023. The former is open to architectural historians and architects whose research in the field of architectural or urban history would benefit from the opportunity to spend three months at the BSR experiencing the reality of buildings and spaces in and around Rome related to their subject of study.

The Rome Scholarship in Architecture is awarded to an early-career architect or post-part II student of architecture who has shown exceptional promise in their student work or their early professional career, or both. The successful candidate will spend three months at the BSR undertaking their own, self-directed programme of research. This research — related to the city of Rome or, if appropriate, elsewhere in Italy — may take the form of an architectural project, a theoretical study or an historical investigation, or a combination of all three.

The Giles Worsley Rome Fellowship is in memory of Giles Worsley, the distinguished architectural historian and critic, who died in 2006 at the age of 44. He was an enthusiastic visitor to Italy and a great believer in the importance of Italian architecture of all periods in understanding the development of Western architecture. The Giles Worsley Rome Fellow will have exceptional access to the extensive collections of the BSR Library and Archive. They will also form part of the community of artists and scholars resident at the BSR, and be able to benefit from, and contribute to, the intellectual and social exchange that has always been such an important aspect of the life of the BSR.
