Live in the middle of New York Harbor this Fall! The Institute for Public Architecture is now accepting applications for the 2023 Fall Independent Projects Residency based at the historic Block House on Governors Island, from October 1st through November 30th, 2023. The Block House is the only building on Governors Island that supports short-term overnight accommodations for cultural and academic purposes. As such, Fellows will enjoy exclusive access to the Island beyond its regular hours.

Emerging architects, urbanists, landscape architects, designers, and those committed to the public realm in all disciplines are invited to apply. Applicants will bring their interests and projects to the program and will receive opportunities to present their work to the public throughout the Residency. Fellows receive invaluable project support through access to subject matter experts and resources relevant to their projects.

Fellows will enjoy unparalleled historical, natural, and urban resources with direct access to Downtown Manhattan and waterfront Brooklyn neighborhoods via ferry. The IPA is one of more than twenty arts, cultural, educational, and environmental nonprofit organizations in residence on the Island. It forms a unique community that connects with a diverse and growing audience of nearly one million annual visitors.⁠
