Call for applications - Krvia fellowship 2010-2011
Since its inception, KRVIA has located its architecture education in a wider format of cultural studies. A multi-disciplinary enquiry and a strong urban focus, form two, often overlapping spines of its curriculum. Rather than limiting architectural practice to a supply-demand logic, it emphasises a theorisation of the contemporary situation. In doing so we hope to see the context in a new perspective and perhaps suggest new trajectories of development.
In order to allow graduates, who have the urge to return to larger questions regarding our discipline, KRVIA has instituted the KRVIA Fellowship Programme. The institute has been running this programme since 1998. KRVIA invites proposals from architecture graduates wanting to explore ideas in the fields of architecture, art, technology, humanities and urban studies. The programme will offer three fellowships of Rs. 8000 per month for a period of nine months. The criteria of selection will be, a well worked out research question and a plan for its execution. The form of the research is open and explorations in various media are encouraged. Fellows will spend 20 hours in the institute including 5 hours of teaching. In addition, the Fellows are also free to join the KRVIA Design Cell, over and above these 20 hours, for which they will be separately remunerated.
The deadline for sending in proposals is July 24, 2010. Shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview on 31st July. The Fellowship programme commences on August 2, 2010 and ends on April 30, 2010. The final report will have to be submitted along with a presentation one month after the completion of the fellowship period. A mid-term report will be submitted in mid November. The institute reserves the right to terminate the fellowship if the work is found unsatisfactory. KRVIA will assign one/two resource persons to each fellow. Fellows will have to regularly report to them.
The proposals submitted should contain the following:
1.Issues that the proposal wants to address along with an overall research question
2.A research plan including methodology, work plan and schedule.
3.A brief curriculum vitae
On the day of the interview candidates should carry with them samples of work. The work may or may not be related to the topics of their proposed research but should demonstrate the candidate’s ability to successfully complete the fellowship.
Kindly send all proposals to
