Thaisa Way of UW wins Rome Prize

Way

Thaisa Way, a University of Washington landscape architecture professor, won a 2015-2016 Rome Prize fellowship from The American Academy in Rome.

Fellows are artists and scholars who work together and pursue projects.

Way will explore the role of drawing in the imagination of the city and its landscapes. She will also investigate drawings of landscape architects and designers from the 16th century forward to understand how they experienced urban landscapes.

She is executive director of Urban at UW, which focuses on the challenges and opportunities of cities worldwide.

The American Academy in Rome was begun in 1893 by architects and sculptors to study amid the classical tradition of ancient Rome.
