British Council Selects First Lina Bo Bardi Fellowship Recipient

British Council Selects First Lina Bo Bardi Fellowship Recipient

 

Noted Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi now has a travel fellowship in her name. Jane Hall, founding member of Assemble, a Stratford, UK–based architecture and design collective, has been selected as the inaugural winner of the British Council’s Lina Bo Bardi Fellowship that will allow her to travel to Brazil this year to study Bo Bardi’s work for six weeks this fall.

Hall, an architectural assistant at Studio Weave, will investigate how society, culture, and the idea of “Brazilianess” influence the country’s contemporary architectural practices. The fellowship is part of the British Council’s Transform series—a sequence of arts programs between the United Kingdom and Brazil leading up to the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
