The OBEL Foundation has opened applications for the fourth edition of the OBEL Teaching Fellowships, offering a grant of up to €75,000.
Prospective fellows from around the world are invited to apply in partnership with a host institution. Selected courses are expected to begin in 2027 (or shortly thereafter) and will centre on the 2026 OBEL Award focus: Systems' Hack.
The fellowship supports deeper exploration, development, and dissemination of knowledge on this critical theme within the built environment.
"Supporting influential ideas and approaches that can drive architectural discourse is a key focus for the foundation. We are excited to welcome applications from around the world to gain diverse perspectives on the Systems' Hack agenda. Ultimately, we seek fellows who explore how architecture can critically engage with the systems that underpin contemporary society — from infrastructure and energy to food, water, education and information. Just like the Systems' Hack agenda, education can work in a similar way: moving beyond conventional problem-solving and instead intervening in the very systems on which society and nature depend," explains Jesper Eis, Executive Director at OBEL.
The 2026 fellowship cycle provides funding that enables universities to introduce new voices into academia and develop impactful courses examining how architects can expose, infiltrate, and reconfigure entrenched structures — not by rejecting them, but by transforming how they function. The theme asks whether architecture can become an active participant within ecological and social systems, operate within planetary boundaries, and help reshape the networks of production, governance, and influence on which it depends.
Further information about the Systems' Hack focus can be found here.

Following the announcement of the first projects that will be part of the upcoming Concéntrico Festival in Logroño, taking place from June 18 to 23, 2026, we continue to expand the programme with new initiatives.

The Open Call for the next Experimental Fellowship, in partnership with material data platform revalu is now open. Experimental Foundation’s Spring Fellowship with revalu supports practice based research by emerging architectural practices with applied industry experience. The Fellowship is aimed at practitioners who seek to contribute to a transformative shift in the building sector. It is intended for architects collaborating with clients (developers, public or private) or industry partners who seek to implement regenerative, circular, and climate-conscious solutions in pilot projects, through innovative, systemic-analytical approaches.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House (Buffalo, New York) is pleased to announce a call for applications to its Creative Residency Program. The residency provides individuals from multiple disciplines a thought-provoking environment in which to produce new works of the imagination inspired by one of the great examples of 20th century architecture.
Applications to the 2027 season will open on March 30, 2026 and close on April 24, 2026. They will be accepted in two distinct categories. The Artist Program supports the development and presentation of creative works as they relate to Martin House. The Researcher Program provides opportunities to conduct research that will lead to published texts or projects in various fields, again as they relate to Frank Lloyd Wright and Martin House.
Creative makers who are selected to participate will generally spend 2-4 weeks onsite either consecutively or incrementally within the residency term: June - October, 2027. Residents are also expected to deliver a free public program, performance, exhibition, or other creative presentation in order to share their Martin House-inspired work with the larger public.
Residents will receive a stipend of $5,000. Travel expenses of up to $1,000 will also be provided to residents who are from outside the Buffalo-Niagara region.
The Creative Residency Program is an opportunity for the Martin House to respond to and engage with our community. We anticipate that it will lead to more robust interpretations of Frank Lloyd Wright, the Martin House, and the people who once lived and worked here so as to expand the dialogue as to what great architecture is and why it matters.
