RIAI Travelling Scholarship
Encyclopedia
The RIAI Travelling Scholarship is an award made annually by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland
to one or more students of architecture attending a school of architecture in the Republic of Ireland
or Northern Ireland
.
The award has been made annually since 1935 and has former the basis for the careers of many notable Irish architects, among them Arthur Gibney, Sam Stephenson
and Trevor Leaker
.
Over the course of its history, the scholarship has been competed for in numerous ways. Current practice is for the RIAI to set a competition brief, which is then the subject of the design of a building or landscape by the competitors. An appointed jury of distinguished and learned architects and pedagogues then selects the winning entry.
