And the winners are...

In early January, Harvard Graduate School of Design named the six recipients of the 2020 Richard Rogers Fellowship, an annual three-and-a-half-month residency at Rogers-designed Wimbledon House in England. Over the next year, Timothy Ivison, Emma Letizia Jones,

Sean Canty, Michelle Chang, Thomas Shay Hill and Henry Grabar will each participate in a self-directed research project that will involve travel to London in addition to a US$10,000 award.

Also in January, the W Awards (formerly Women in Architecture Awards) announced that Yasmeen Lari, Pakistan’s first female architect, and Beatriz Colomina, celebrated architecture historian and Princeton University professor, would receive the Jane Drew Prize and Ada Louise Huxtable Prize for Contribution to Architecture, respectively, at a ceremony in

London on March 6.

Shortly afterward, New York–based landscape designer, urbanist and public artist Sara Zewde (of Studio Zewde) and Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample (of MOS Architects) were each awarded an unrestricted US$50,000 grant by the Chicago-based non-profit United States Artists, which recognizes “artists working and living in the United States, in all disciplines, at every stage of their career.”

In early February, eight up-and-coming firms were awarded top prize as part of The Architectural League of New York’s annual Emerging Voices program. Cited for their extensive work in building throughout the Canadian north, particularly in communities across Nunavik, Montreal-based Blouin Orzes architectes (led by Marc Blouin and Catherine Orzes) was among the studios presented with the prestigious accolade.
