Our PennDesign faculty does it again. The American Academy in Rome named Christopher Marcinkoski, Assistant Professor in Landscape Architecture here at PennDesign, the 2015-2016 Rome Prize Fellowship winner. More than 900 applications were submitted from 46 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, making this nothing less than an exceptionally competitive pool. The fellowship offers an opportunity for winners to pursue their work in an atmosphere conducive to intellectual and artistic freedom, interdisciplinary exchange, and innovation. The prize includes a stipend, a study or studio, and a room and board for a period of six months to two years. What's even cooler is that Marcinkoski isn't the first of PennDesign's faculty to win this astonishing award. Randall Mason and Karen M'Closkey won the prize in the 2012-2013 years. Congratulations Christopher!
