SUPERFRONT’s Architect-in-Residence program supports emerging artists and architects from under-represented social demographics, especially LGBT women, and/or Black, Latino, and/or Pacific Islander architects of any gender, in their development as artists or architects working with urban space. Candidates based in Brooklyn are also given preference. The Residency selects candidates from a juried selection process, based upon their written statement and portfolio of works. The program emphasizes experimental and interdisciplinary work within the context of contemporary architecture.

The Architect-in-Residence receive dedicated workspace, including a desk with internet access and tools for model-making, from January 19 – March 18, 2011. The work produced during the residency will be exhibited to the public through the remainder of March 2011. The Architect-in-Residence will receive support for his/her project in the form of desk crits from select members of the Jury, curatorial support, access to free materials through Materials For the Arts, and a stipend of $500.

To apply: Submit work samples (not to exceed 2MB), resume/CV, and project statements (not to exceed 1,000 words) to [email protected] via email. Work samples should relate to the project outlined in the project statement. Submission deadline is 5:00PM Monday December 6, 2010.

Based upon the submitted work samples, the CV, and project statements of the applicants, the jury selects one candidate who demonstrate the most potential to develop new experimental work that will engage the public with a contemporary architectural theory or practice. The jury looks for clarity of the experiment and/or interaction with other disciplines proposed, as well as the significance of the proposal within the context of contemporary urbanism.
