DANIEL URBAN KILEY TEACHING FELLOWSHIP in LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 2012-13

The Daniel Urban Kiley Teaching Fellowship will be awarded annually to an emerging designer whose work articulates the potential for landscape as a medium of design in the public realm. The Kiley Fellow will be appointed Lecturer in Landscape Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design for the 2012-13 academic year. While the Kiley Fellowship will be awarded competitively on an annual basis, successful Fellows are eligible to have their academic appointments renewed for a second year at the rank of Lecturer, dependent upon review of their teaching, research and creative practice.

This initiative is intended to recognize and foster emerging design educators whose work embodies the potentials for landscape as a medium of design in the public realm. The Daniel Urban Kiley Fellowship builds upon the GSD’s history of pedagogic innovation as well as the Department of Landscape Architecture’s century of leadership in landscape education.

Eligibility

Landscape architects and designers from a range of allied design professions who can demonstrate a significant engagement with landscape as a medium of design in the public realm are invited to apply.

The Selection Process

A jury comprised of leading figures from the Harvard GSD faculty including the incumbent Kiley Fellow will select the 2012 Kiley Fellow. The two-stage competition process will identify a short-list of three finalists who will be invited to interviews with the competition jury. The jury will recommend a winner and runner-up to be announced publicly in March 2012.
