For the past thirty years the
Tejido Group has developed into an interdisciplinary and
collaborative applied research program in which faculty and
professionals in Landscape Architecture, Architecture and
Planning work side by side with University graduate students in
an apprenticeship-style professional / learning environment.
Tejido is also an international experience and has collaborated
on projects throughout the United States, the Caribbean, Mexico,
Europe, Asia and Central America. Project types include: urban design and
neighborhood revitalization, coastal planning, eco-tourism and
resort planning, campus master planning, small town
revitalization master planning, and sustainable community master
planning.
The Tejido Group offers fellowships to those graduate students engaged in
developing design and planning theses or master’s reports
consistent in spirit and purpose to the collaborative,
interdisciplinary and international community development work
undertaken by past design and planning teams.
Tejido will select submissions based on two primary criteria: 1)
project uniqueness and pedagogic value in developing the student
into an exceptional practicing professional; 2) the project’s
potential impact on society, the environment and the design and
planning professions.
Graduate students in Landscape Architecture and Architecture
should submit applications in digital format to Mark
Frederickson, that should include the
following:
1) A thesis or masters report abstract of no more than 500
words. This should also include a brief discussion of how this
body of work will facilitate the professional intentions of the
candidate.
2) A concise resume and abbreviated digital portfolio of the
candidate’s design and planning work, (submittals can be
presented as web-based, power point or in PDF format).
One fellowship will be granted to applicants from the graduate
School of Landscape Architecture with the other available to
graduate students in either the School of Architecture or
Landscape Architecture. Submittals will be evaluated by past
faculty participants and former team members who have now
graduated.
