Online-application opens today. Harvard GSD announces the second edition of the Wheelwright Prize awarding with a $100,000 travel-based research grant to a recent architect whose proposal conveys a talented, scholarly and professional design sense. Originally established by Harvard's GSD in 1935 as the "Arthur Wheelwright Traveling Fellowship", the prize recognizes the importance of field research to professional development and is available to architects practicing anywhere in the world.

 “It is clear that today's fluid movement of people and ideas necessitates new approaches towards the understanding of architecture and urbanization. I am excited that in the coming years the Wheelwright Fellowship will be able to have a significant impact on the intellectual projects of young architects and, in turn, on the future of architecture and the built environment.”

—Harvard GSD Dean Mohsen Mostafavi

As of 2013, eligibility has expanded to any architect who has graduated within the last 15 years from a professionally accredited architecture degree program.

The focus is on international research, requiring the winner of the Prize spend at least 6 months working out of their home country, and not in the United States.

To apply, you can click here. The online-application opens January 20, 2014, and will close March 4, 2014.

Last year's Wheelwright winner was Brooklyn-based architect Gia Wolff, for her proposal "Floating City: The Community-Based Architecture of Parade Floats".
