The jury for the 2005 Schiff Foundation Fellowship awards has selected Ananth Robert Sampathkumar for the $25,000 Architecture award and Zachary White for the $10,000 Critical Architectural Writing award.
Sampathkumar proposed the creation of movable, responsive canopies for urban sites in his project entitled “Noah's Arcs.” The jury said his proposal was “an effective urban infrastructural amenity that was ambitious beyond its scale.”
White won for his essay entitled “A Vital Mess: Rem Koolhaas' Irreverent Love for Mies,” which the jury called “lucidly and freshly observed, well-informed but free of jargon.”
The Schiff Fellowship was founded in 1988 with endowment from Harold Schiff, retired partner with the construction firm of Schal Associates. The four-member jury for this year's awards included architect Julie Snow; Edward Lifson, Chicago Public Radio Arts Editor and host of Hello Beautiful; Blair Kamin, architectural critic of the Chicago Tribune, and Cal Lewis, chair of the Department of Architecture at the University of Iowa.
