Stephanie Lloyd, 2023 Rotch Scholar
Stephanie Lloyd has been named the 2023 Rotch Travelling Scholarship recipient.
The 2023 Rotch Travelling Scholarship Competition, embracing a theme of Memory and Continuance, challenged applicants to explore how design creates a dialogue between the history of a place and the new imaginaries that shape its future.
Place is a shared territory that persists in collective memory and identity, and yet it is also a contested territory where the sense of a shared history is polemicized or rewritten. In responding to present challenges and envisioning future possibilities, proposals were directed to examine the processes of preserving, erasing and even replacing artifacts and ideas in the process of making place.
