Scholar in Residence Program

As part of the Neutra Institute’s educational mission, we host a scholar in residence at Reunion House (Richard J. Neutra, 1950) for an academic year. Our scholar is typically someone pursuing an advanced academic degree (master’s or doctorate) in architecture, landscape architecture, or heritage conservation. This extended, immersive experience in both the design of Reunion House and Neutra’s philosophy of biorealism often inspires their studies and career path. Our scholar in residence also helps care for the house and participates in Institute programming.
Hear about this experience from past scholars below.
The residency spans each August through the following May, and we take applications in January. To learn when the application is available, check this page in the fall or subscribe to our newsletter at the bottom of this page.
