Presented by the MAK Center for Art and Architecture and the SOM Foundation, the Researcher-in-Residence is a fully funded summer residency program based in R.M. Schindler’s Fitzpatrick-Leland House in Los Angeles, also home to the MAK Center’s Study Center.
The Researcher-in-Residence program is open to professionals around the world researching or practicing in a discipline that relates to the built environment. Disciplines may include, but are not limited to architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, engineering, architectural history, sociology, writing, and/or visual art. Residency recipients are encouraged to participate in the activities of the MAK Center and engage with the larger art, architecture, and design communities of Los Angeles. Each residency culminates with a public talk or program related to the recipient’s research and interests, hosted at the MAK Center at the Schindler House.
