The trustees of the University of Pennsylvania announce the fourth competition for the “Alumni Fellowship in Architecture of the University of Pennsylvania.” This fellowship, of the value of $1,000, was established in 1903 for annual award during a term of five years in recognition of the action of the.General Architectural Alumni Society in securing by general subscription among its members, for the needs of the School of Architecture, a fund of $5,000.
All persons under 30 years of age, who have taken at the University of Pennsylvania either the degree of B.S. or M.S. in architecture or the certificate of the twoyear special course in architecture, are eligible to the fellowship, save only such as may have already secured opportunities for foreign travel and study equivalent to those conferred by this fellowship.
The holder of the fellowship is expected to sail for Europe not later than Sept. 1, 1906, where he will be required to spend not less than one year in travel and stud} under a programme prepared in consultation with the Professor of Architecture and approved by the Provost of the University. He is further required to make reports of his work at appointed periods and, upon his return, to exhibit at the School of Architecture the work he shall have completed, from which the School may reserve, as envois, the drawings of not more than four of his subjects of study.
In order to make the fellowship available
to all graduates, regardless of residence, the competition will be held in two parts, the first to select a limited number of contestants . for the second or final. Each will be anonymous and their programmes will be dissimilar.
The “first part,” whose programme is given below, will call for work which can be done by the competitor at his home, during evenings if necessary. From the designs submitted in this part, five will be selected whose authors will compete in the second. The jury of preliminary selection will consist of a member of the corps of instruction in architecture and two practising architects.
The “second part” of the competition will be held under a programme whose subject is announced below. It may be done (a) at the University, (b) in any recognized atelier, or (c) under the supervision of an architect designated by the candidate and approved by the Professor of Architecture.
Designs submitted in the second part will be reviewed by a jury of award composed of not less than five persons, of whom one shall be a member of the corps of instruction of the School of Architecture, another a member of the Alumni Society, as appointed by its board of directors, and the remainder practising architects with whom none of the competitors shall have been professionally associated since January 1, 1905. In forming its judgment the jury will consider only the designs of the second part, save in the improbable event of finding two of equal merit, in which case the record of their authors in the first part and in their college course may be taken into account. Upon the recommendations of this jury the
trustees will take action in awarding the fellowship.
The programme of the first part is :
A Civic Center in a Summer-Resort.—At a summer-resort, on the shore of a great lake, a plot of ground has been set apart for the creation of a public-square, and, at the same time, for beautify ing the city and assembling in a convenient place the different public buildings needed by the visitors.
These buildings are as follows :
1st. A Public Library, of about 5,000 square feet and containing a public delivery-room, two reading-rooms of equal importance (one for adults, one for children) ; necessary stack-rooms, etc.
2d. A Post-Office, of about 3,000 square feet with the usual accommodations.
3d. A Fire-Station, of about 1,500 square feet. 4tli. A Police-Station, of about 1,500 square feet. (The post-office, the fire-station and the policestation can be united in a single building, if judged necessary for the aspect of the composition).
5th. A Building, to be rented for commercial purposes (banks, drug-store, stationery), aDout 6,000 square feet.
All these buildings will be not more than two stories high, studied to contribute to the decorative aspect of the square.
The souare itself, surrounded on three sides by the buildings, opens toward the lake on the fourth; and on this side will be a boat-landing or a small harbor if desired. Its level, is 12 feet above the water-line.
The square will be decorated with gardens, trees, benches, a band-stand, porticos, etc. ; in short, in the best way to make of it an attractive center and a restful place for the inhabitants.
The largest dimension of the ground is 450 feet, including the buildings, but not including the surrounding streets or the lake-shore.
Drazvings Required.—A general plan of the gardens, showing the first floor of the buildings, at 1 inch for 32 feet.
An elevation toward the lake at the same scale.
These drawings, properly rolled and addressed to the undersigned, must be delivered at the office of the Bursar in College Hall not later than 5 p. m. Monday, March 5.
