ArkDes is looking for three guest researchers (Fellows) for the ArkDes Fellowship 2020<\/em> – a fully funded six-month assignment centred around the theme Our Living Environment<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Architecture and design affect us all in our daily lives. Creating physical environments with strong design and spatial quality is a complex task that requires collaboration across many actors and disciplines. It involves understanding and managing spatial relationships, conflicting interests, and questions of shared values. Can old and new coexist in meaningful ways? How can a sense of belonging be combined with artistic and architectural quality?<\/p>\n

ArkDes now invites you – through an investigative project – to contribute new ways of approaching this complexity. The Fellowship aims to explore the challenges and opportunities that shape the future of our cities, communities, and shared spaces. We welcome applications from practitioners, researchers, artists, and communicators working within or adjacent to the fields of architecture, design, and form.
\nWe are particularly interested in projects that challenge conventional thinking in both theory and methodology, and that reflect the theme Our Living Environment in critical, experimental, and grounded ways.<\/p>\n

The Fellowship period runs from March to November 2020, with some flexibility. Fellows must be able to spend at least three of the six months on-site in Stockholm. Each Fellow is offered a dedicated workspace at ArkDes, a monthly salary, and access to the library, collections, and seminar spaces. The work will be carried out in close dialogue with ArkDes staff and the other Fellows.<\/p>\n

We especially encourage proposals that are unconventional, experimental, and rooted in context. Applications should include well-considered methods for implementation, communication, and dissemination. Projects must in some way be relevant to a Swedish context.<\/p>\n

The application is closed<\/p>\n
