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.
ARCHITECT featured 2014 architecture fellow, Adam Nathaniel Furman, in our March issue’s Next Progressives.

British School in Rome’s Rome Prize for Architecture—a different prize
with the same name.
