The School of Architecture at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) is now accepting applications for the 2025–26 Douglas A. Garofalo Fellowship. Named for the architect and educator Doug Garofalo (1958–2011), the nine-month fellowship provides emerging designers the opportunity to teach design studio and seminar courses and conduct independent research, culminating in a public lecture at the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and an exhibition or public conversation at the school.
Now in its twelfth year, the Garofalo Fellowship has made an essential contribution to the school’s culture through the fellows’ design and pedagogical agendas. Past fellows include Molly Hunker (SPORTS), Pier Paolo Tamburelli (baukuh, San Rocco), Sarah Blankenbaker, Francesco Marullo, Fosco Lucarelli (Microcities, SOCKS), Anne Dessing (Studio Anne Dessing), Johannes Berry (SUGIBERRY), and Cédric Van Parys. The current fellow is Zehra Ahmed.
