Description:

The purpose of the program is to support a project related to structural design and historic preservation. Preference will be given to proposals that benefit underrepresented communities. Eligible applicants include architects, engineers, and other design professionals. Proposals should explore the preservation, restoration, or adaptive reuse of the built environment.

The proposal may focus on a real project or it may be a polemical exercise; in either case, originality is highly valued. The proposal need not be directly related to structural design, although reference to structural elements within a given project and/or the interaction of structure with related fields will be valued. The proposal must advance the art and practice of preservation in the United States.

Eligible applicants:

engineers, architects, or other design professionals
