The Lyceum announces the 2022 winners of the traveling fellowship in architecture. The jury convened in July in Austin, Texas where they reviewed fifty-two submissions. The entries were based on the Friesenhahn Cave located in San Antonio, Texas. The cave is one of the most important paleontological sites in the U.S. after three saber-tooth cat skeletons were discovered there in the late 1940s and early 1950s. 

The competition task was to create a boundary and threshold between the buildable portion of the protected historic cave area and the ‘present day suburban condition.’ Creating a literal boundary between the protected past and the future. 

The jury was comprised of Murray Legge, FAIA of Murray Legge Architecture; Kenneth Francis, ASLA of PLA of Surroundings Studio; Nichole Wiedemann, AIA of the University of Texas at Austin; and Peter N. Vincent, FAIA of Peter Vincent Architects. Dr. Jennifer Hofmann, Associate Professor at Concordia University and the Council Coordinator for the Friesenhahn Cave, joined the jury to provide valuable feedback regarding the designs. View the 2022 winners at https://lyceum-fellowship.org/2022.
