The Deborah J. Norden Fund
A travel fund for students and recent graduates in the fields of architecture, architectural history, and urban studies
About the Norden Fund
The Deborah J. Norden Fund, established in 1995 in memory of architect and arts administrator Deborah Norden, awards a total of up to $5,000 annually in travel/study grants for research projects proposed by passionate and curious students of architecture, architectural history, and urban studies. The Norden Fund has enabled more than twenty-five fascinating independent projects that have explored topics and locales around the world—slum redevelopment programs in Mumbai, India; the social impact of new architecture and planning interventions in Medellín, Colombia; the insertion of built form into fragile ecosystems in Australia; and the stereotomy of complex surfaces in French Baroque architecture, among many others.
