The Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects’ Travel Award has been offered annually since 2008, with the support of the Royal Institute of British Architects. The WCCA Stuart Murphy Travel Award is made in memory of Stuart Murphy, the Chief Planning Officer of the City of London and past Master of the WCCA. This annual award provides a travel grant of up to £2,000 to a student or a group of students enrolled in the first year of a RIBA validated Part 2 course at a School of Architecture in the Greater London area.
The objective of the Award is to allow a student or a group of students to conduct research on the topic and in the location of their choice. It is hoped that the research will enrich the award holder’s studies in the field of architecture contributing to the development of their course work as well as to the advancement of architectural knowledge.
