<p>Climate change, COVID-19, the fight for social justice. In disruptive times, how can architecture help to chart new paths and implement far-reaching solutions?</p>
<p>That’s the question posed by <strong>“Disruption,” the<strong> </strong></strong><strong><a href="http://steedmanfellowship.wustl.edu/2021-call-for-proposals/" target="_blank">2021 James Harrison Steedman Fellowship in Architecture</a>. </strong>The biennial research competition invites early-career architects from around the world to explore how architecture can help to address today’s most pressing global challenges.</p>
<p>The fellowship is organized by the <a href="https://samfoxschool.wustl.edu/" target="_blank"><strong>Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts</strong></a> at Washington University in St. Louis, in concert with <a href="http://www.aia-stlouis.org/" target="_blank"><strong>AIA St. Louis</strong></a>, a chapter of the American Institute of Architects. <strong>The winning proposal will receive $75,000 to support up to a year of international travel and research</strong>.</p>

<p>“Storage allows architecture to maintain order,” said Zhang, an architectural designer based in New York and winner of the <a href="https://steedmanfellowship.wustl.edu/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">2018-19 James Harrison Steedman Memorial Fellowship in Architecture</a>.</p>
<p>“We keep our active inhabitable areas free of clutter and the appearance of overindulgence,” Zhang added, “while banishing unused and unwanted items to the basement, the warehouse, the broom cupboard or the mechanical room.</p>
<p>“Yet rather than dismissing these spaces as passive and inert, what we stash away and where we hide them are as revealing as what we display, if not more.”</p>
