Christopher Marcinkoski: Rome Prize

Christopher Marcinkoski

The American Academy in Rome named Christopher Marcinkoski, assistant professor in landscape architecture at PennDesign, among 29 winners of the 2015-2016 Rome Prize Fellowship. Professor Marcinkoski’s proposal, titled “Rome, Empire Building and The City That Never Was,” was awarded the Rolland Rome Prize in the category of Landscape Architecture. The prize includes a stipend, a study or studio and room and board for a period of six months to two years in Rome, Italy. 

“I am very honored to join the ranks of these scholars and have the opportunity to continue ongoing research related to the increasing proliferation of foreign-motivated speculative urbanization activities on the African continent, reflecting on them as a kind of soft empire building,” Professor Marcinkoski said. He will depart for Rome to begin the fellowship in January of 2016.
