The Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St.
Louis is accepting registrations for its 2008 Steedman Traveling Fellowship
Competition. Granted since 1925, the biennial Steedman Fellowship is open to
citizens of all countries with not more than eight years of experience
following receipt of a professional degree in architecture. The competition
carries a $30,000 first place award to support study and research abroad -
the largest such award in the United States. Participating architects will
develop conceptual plans for the adaptive reuse of an abandoned St. Louis
industrial building, located on the Mississippi riverfront just north of
downtown and Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch.
The registration deadline is Jan. 29, 2008. The competition brief will be
published Jan. 31, with the deadline for entries March 13. Winners will be
announced March 29. For more information or registration materials, visit
