Applications are now open for the up to €75,000 OBEL Award Teaching Fellowships 2025!
.
The 2025 cycle of the fellowship program seeks to provide the funding necessary so that universities may incorporate new voices into the institution to develop impactful courses relating to how they can rethink, reinterpret and repurpose existing resources within the built environment.
.
Focus Areas
- The taught courses will preferably begin in 2026 (or soon thereafter) and revolve around the 2025 OBEL Award focus: Ready Made.
- Ready Made prioritises what already exists. The building industry and market logics that drive it have led to overproduction and hyper consumption and so Ready Made explores how new value—and new values—can be discovered through the materials and mechanisms of what can already be found. Ready Made also goes beyond the current norms by looking to new standards for bio-based materials and reuse resource cultures celebrated for their availability, regrowth, naturally occurring presence and carbon efficiency.
- Ready Made challenges the notion of architectural aesthetics, the industrial and the vernacular, and ‘traditional’ supply chain and policy frameworks in favour of progressive, optimistic vision of designing for their future within planetary boundaries and with new dialogues on beauty.
Aims
- The aim is to foster deeper exploration, development, and dissemination of knowledge on this key topic within the built environment.
