Giles Worsley Travel Fellowship 2010 - 2011
Giles Worsley, the distinguished architectural historian and critic, died of cancer in 2006 at the age of 44. He was an enthusiastic visitor to Italy and a great believer in the importance of Italian architecture of all periods in understanding the development of Western architecture. He was concerned that architecture schools do not give adequate emphasis to the teaching of architectural history and that architectural historians should be encouraged to experience the reality of influential Italian buildings.
- Open to architects and architectural historians. Normally applicants should have recently completed a post-graduate qualification.
- Applicants must have British nationality or have been living and studying in Britain for at least the last three years.
- Duration: three months (October–December 2010).
- Research grant: £700 per month; plus travel grant.

- The project proposed for the Fellowship should be an end in itself, rather than a means to an end.
- Applicants must send a curriculum vitae, a statement of 500–700 words indicating the subject of their proposal and their suitability for the Fellowship, and the names and addresses of two referees. They should ask the two referees to send a reference in support of their application.
- Applications and references should be sent to: The Giles Worsley Travel Fellowship, The British School at Rome, at The British Academy, 10 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AH.
- Deadline for applications: 29 January 2010.
