Journeys of Discovery

15 years of the ADAM Architecture travel scholarship.

This stunningly illustrated book is an edited compilation of research projects from eleven travel scholarship winners who have travelled in countries as various as Ethiopia, Japan, Italy and Iran, looking at subjects as wide-ranging as rock-hewn churches, dry stone masonry, anthropomorphism in baroque architecture, and Seljuk building in Isfahan.

The ADAM Travel Scholarship was launched in 2005 with an aim to inspire students and encourage architectural exploration. From the start we were impressed with the variety and high standards of applications that we received. Each year the applications have always included surprising and unexpected areas of study which address our core interest in the continuity of tradition.

Our travel scholarship is open to students or recent graduates, studying for their RIBA Part I, and up to 3 years after their Part II qualification, or equivalent.

About the Travel Scholarship

The ADAM Architecture Travel Scholarship provides an opportunity for students or recent graduates to travel abroad to conduct research on an architectural subject of their choosing. The award of £2,000 supports original research in architecture, architectural technology and urban design.

Judges look for a significant piece of original research work which can provide an outstanding contribution to architectural knowledge. Applicants with all stylistic interests are encouraged, whether offering a fresh perspective on contemporary architecture, to traditional and everything in between. The scholarship is open to students enrolled at a UK or International University or School of Architecture, studying RIBA Part I, and up to 3 years after their Part II qualification, to students studying a CIAT-accredited degree or post-graduate course, or equivalent qualification.
