Simon is appointed member of the Alastair Swayn Foundation Grants Assessment Panel
The Alastair Swayn Foundation has announced its successful candidates for membership of the ASF Grants Assessment Panel.
The members were selected by our Board of Directors to represent a broad range of expert backgrounds, geographical locations and social diversity. All members will serve over the next two years and will be integral to the expansion and development of our grants program as it continues to grow and continues to impact architecture and design research in Australia.
The Alastair Swayn Foundation continues Alastair’s legacy, supporting and nurturing the Australian architectural and design community through our grants program. The Foundation awards grants to individuals, groups and organisations that promote the advancement of architecture and design through research, education and exhibition. Proposals must demonstrate a benefit to Australia’s architecture and design industries and a willingness to openly share the research findings with the Australian community.
The Foundation encourages grant applications focused on architecture or design, which emphasise research, promote education, demonstrate vision and innovation, and which have potential for further development and long-term outcomes. Founded by Alastair Swayn AO, the Foundation was established for the public charitable objective of advancing architectural culture and education, including by:
Providing grants for research into Australian architecture and design including housing
Promoting and supporting education in architecture, design and technology
Funding visits by overseas scholars to further advance and promote architecture, design and technology
