Peñarroyo Named Akademie Schloss Solitude Fellow

Cyrus Peñarroyo, assistant professor of architecture, has been named a 2022 – 2024 Akademie Schloss Solitude Fellow in the Spatial (architecture and design) category. Established in 1990, the fellowship supports young artists, scientists, and cultural workers. Fellows complete a residency at Akademie Schloss Solitude where they can devote themselves to their research with the benefit of material support and favorable intellectual conditions. Peñarroyo is one of 58 fellows selected from a pool of 2,903 candidates for the 2022 – 2024 period. The wide-ranging fellowship program promotes the interrelationship of art and science across disciplines.
