The Richard Morris Hunt Fellowship is a professional exchange for historic preservation architects, co-sponsored by the American Architectural Foundation and the French Heritage Society. Each year since 1990, one architect is honored with this opportunity to exchange historic preservation expertise.
I will be the 20th Fellow and the 10th American to travel to France. On alternating years, French architects come to the USA. My program begins September 21st; the first month will be based in Lyon, France. In addition to learning about the French policies and philosophies regarding their culture resources, I look forward to learning how the pressures of climate change are affecting these traditions.

Richard Morris Hunt Fellowship – Alumni Reunion
By Wendy Hillis, AIA, and Mary Brush, AIA
Alumni laureates and friends of the Richard Morris Hunt Fellowship convened in France October 22-26 for their bi-annual reunion. Begun in 1990 as the vision of one French woman, Michele le Menestral Ullrich, the program has awarded twenty fellowships and touched the lives of countless people who have supported the recipients of the prize. An amazing professional fellowship, laureates are chosen by an international jury for their accomplishments, value to the profession, and potential as future leaders in architectural preservation. The fellowship is more than a professional sabbatical; it is six months of inspiration, open doors to leading practitioners, hands-on understanding of projects, philosophies, and applied techniques. Further, is a lifetime commitment to the advancement of the profession as well as an ongoing dialogue between historic preservation architects in both of the host countries.
