Christine Butler The winners at the Arthur & Janet C. Ross Rome Prize Ceremony, held at the Morgan Library and Museum in New York City on April 16th.

The trustees of the American Academy in Rome selected a group of 31 visionaries for the 119th annual Rome Prize. For the recipients, the accolade entails a six- to 11-month stay in a 17th century villa upon Rome’s Janiculum hill, overlooking the city center, while studying their chosen concentrations, including  ancient studies, architecture, design, historic preservation and conservation, and landscape architecture.

The Rome Prize is regarded as one of the most prestigious awards given to artists and scholars, who live in a conducive atmosphere fit for intellectual and creative exchange. The winners are selected by independent juries through a national competition process that begins with an application process in the Fall.
 
The recipients for architecture are: Karl Daubmann, associate professor of architecture at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College, and director of Ann Abor, Mich.–based DAUB, and Javier Galindo, New York–based architect and founder of JCGH.
