Schwarz Fellowship for Research on Urban Design Architecture
Since 2021, the Schwarz Foundation funds two fellowships for recent PhD graduates and early-career practitioners who wish to pursue research on themes related to the collections of the Gennadius Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.
The Schwarz Fellowship for Research on Urban Design and Architecture supports innovative, cross-disciplinary research on architecture, urban planning, and the history of the built environment in Greece from 1821 to the present. Research is carried out at the Gennadius Library for the full academic year.
Eligibility: Practising architects, PhD candidates, or PhD holders who received their degree within the last five years. The fellowship is open to applicants of all nationalities.
Eligible fields of study: Architectural and urban design, history of architecture, history of the city, historical geography, contemporary art, and related disciplines.
On January 21, 2025 we celebrated the Schwarz fellows who have studied at the Gennadeion for the past years.
The conversation focuses not only on the fellows’ research within their scholarly trajectory, but also on the ways in which their experience as fellows at the Gennadius library and the American School has shaped (or is shaping) their academic and professional development.
The discussion is led by Andreas Giacumakatos, Emeritus professor of History, Critical Analysis and Theory of Architecture at the Athens School of Fine Arts, Nikos Tsouchlos, President of the Athens Conservatoire and Professor in the Department of Music Studies of the Ionian University, and Maria Georgopoulou, Director of the Gennadius Library.
