Cullen Sayegh, a 4th-year Architecture student, was chosen as the 2018 Aydelott Travel Award recipient for his proposal, \u201cArchitecture as Infrastructure: Investigating Spatial Networks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now in its third year, the Aydelott Travel Award was established by the late Alfred Lewis Aydelott, FAIA, and his wife, Hope Galloway Aydelott, to enable students of architecture to engage in firsthand observation and research of any four architecturally significant structures across the world.<\/p>\n
Using his $20,000 award, Sayegh will travel to four historical architecture sites: The\u00a0Trollstigen\u00a0Visitor Center on the\u00a0Geiranger-Trollstigen\u00a0National Tourist Route in Norway; the\u00a0Ouvrage\u00a0Hackenberg in\u00a0Vekring, France; the Humble Administrator\u2019s Garden in the\u00a0Classical Gardens of Suzhou, China; and the\u00a0Angkor Wat Temple in Angkor, Cambodia.<\/p>\n
Cullen chose these sites to compare their significances within a larger network and contrast the differences in time period, location a cultural intent.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe four sites were exemplary works of network architecture; buildings that were physically and experientially connected to their surrounding landscape and to existing infrastructural systems,\u201d explains Sayegh. \u201cI am every interested in how architecture acts\u00a0within\u00a0these networks, which\u00a0have broader cultural, political, and economic implications than just a singular building.\u201d<\/p>\n
After returning from his current study abroad term in Rome, Cullen plans to depart for Norway on May 30 and return to 快活视频 from Cambodia in mid-July.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am so thankful for the opportunity to be able to experience the sites in person, in addition to immersing myself in four distinctly\u00a0different cultures,\u201d states Sayegh. \u201cSome of the sites are places I have wanted to visit since I was a kid. I am very grateful to the Aydelott family for generously providing funds for the research and travel.\u201d<\/p>\n
For three years, the Aydelott Travel Award has aimed to challenge architecture students through research, observation and documentation of architectural sites across the globe. By analyzing and communicating their findings, the Aydelott Travel award, according to the program proposal, prepares the recipient for \u201cwhat he or she will continually be required to do in his or her architectural career.\u201d<\/p>\n
Each year, the endowment provides more than $100,000 to four students currently enrolled in professional architecture degree programs at the University of Arkansas; Auburn University; Mississippi State University; and 快活视频.<\/p>\n
Students interested in applying for the 2019 Aydelott Travel Award should watch for an informational meeting in November 2018. Deadline for applications is in January 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
