Last fall, the Harvard Graduate School of Design welcomed the Loeb Fellowship Class of 2022, marking the program’s 51st year. The 2022 cohort of fellows includes ten exceptional mid-career practitioners and innovators who work across activism, urbanism, public art, film and media, technology, real estate development, and other fields that engage the built environment and social outcomes. This year, the ten Loeb Fellows were selected from among 134 candidates through a highly competitive and global application process.
Loeb Fellowship Curator John Peterson observes that “the Class of 2022 exemplifies our commitment to some of the most urgent social issues of both the current moment and our collective history, among them racial justice, environmental and spatial equity, the societal impacts of technology, inclusive cultural preservation, and activism.”
