We thank all the applicants for this year’s Student Bursary where there were some interesting topics. This year’s Bursaries have been awarded to Nicholas Harrington and Anna Raymond.

Nick, who is studying at the Mackintosh School of Architecture in Glasgow, will be exploring the friendship of Fernand Léger and Le Corbusier and the relationship between painting and architecture.

Anna, who is also studying in Glasgow, will be looking at innovative approaches to inclusive design, studying the design of access to cultural venues in Paris and Nantes.

March 2015 update:

We are now hoping that they will each make their presentations either at the Nantes Re-Union or the Joint Committee in Paris.

Money for the bursaries (£1500 each) comes principally from the interest from our specifically saved funds. In addition, this year we are very fortunate to have received an additional donation of £500 from Charles MacCallum’s family in memory of Charlie.

The Franco-British Union of Architects is inviting candidates to apply for the 2014 bursary. One bursary of up to £1,500 will be awarded to a suitable British candidate to extend their understanding of some aspect of architecture in the other country. The bursary is intended to assist with travel, accommodation, subsistence, and incidental expenses, relevant to the bursar’s topic, and incurred within Britain or France.  Applicants must be British nationals under 30 years of age at the date of application, and either architects or students at a recognised UK school of architecture who will have passed RIBA Part I. Further details and application forms can be found here. The deadline for applications is 5pm 21st January 2014. Follow FBUA_Bursary on twitter.
