Peter Reyner Banham Fellowship

Peter Reyner Banham (SUNY-Buffalo, 1976-80) spent his time in Buffalo engaged in a scholarly project on the imaginary of American industrial architecture at work in early modernism that took the form of historical research, hands-on engagement, and seminar instruction that resulted in his landmark work, A Concrete Atlantis. In celebration of Banham's legacy of experimental criticism, the fellowship is intended to support research and creative activity of emerging practitioners. Candidates are encouraged to propose a research trajectory that will be developed in tandem with a pedagogical agenda. The Banham Fellow will teach a design studio and an elective course each semester for the duration of a one-year fellowship. In addition, the fellow will deliver a public lecture as part of teh school-wide lecture series and prepare an exhibition that culminates from the research, teaching, and/or creative work conducted while in residence at the school.

Applications should be composed of a well-considered proposal for research/creative work (1500 words maximum), as well as a curriculum vita, portfolio of work, and names of three references.

Deadline: Applications must be received by March 23, 2012
