The Wimbledon House, a landmarked building designed by Lord Richard Rogers in the late 1960s, has been donated to Harvard Graduate School of Design and will host a new research residency program. Dubbed the Richard Rogers Fellowship, the program is open to accomplished professionals and scholars working in fields related to the built environment.
Accepted applicants, pooled from an international open call, will inhabit the Wimbledon House for three months. Harvard will provide travel expenses to London and a $10,000 USD prize. The residency is intended to foster research around alternative and sustainable futures, in line with Rogers’ own cross-disciplinary, research-driven practice.
The house, a bright yellow modern masterpiece, was originally designed for Rogers’ parents. It will also serve as a venue for lectures and events in 2017.
Applications for the residency are due by November 28, 2016 and winners will be announced in early December.
