PennPraxis by Weitzman School of Design, the University of Pennsylvania invites you to apply for an award to participate in Case Studies in Design, a collective writing and thinking project that will create opportunities for community and design leaders to think together about ways to catalyze transformational design, planning, and place-keeping from the ground up.

The goals are to learn from ambitious projects designed in community, to share experience through dialogue and a public library of case studies, and to train ourselves for new ways of working with communities. Case study projects will range from outstanding examples of community-engaged practice to more radical roles and results of interdisciplinary work within movements.

PennPraxis are seeking applications from people who would like to research and author a case study, which we will publish and disseminate in a variety of ways. PennPraxis will support 5 case study writers in 2024 with a fee and expense allowance of $50,000 per author.

PennPraxis especially invites people who may be interested in culture-shifting dialogue between public agencies, funders, community leaders, schools, and the architecture, landscape, planning, heritage and art fields. 

The application deadline is June 30th, 2024 at 12:00 pm EDT.
