BedZed by Bill Dunster Architects: one of the projects Rachael visited during her Churchill Fellowship in 2003.
In 2003, Rachael Bernstone was awarded the
AV Jennings Churchill Fellowship
This incredible opportunity enabled Rachael to travel to the United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden and the United States for 10 weeks, to study Sustainable and Affordable Housing.
The people she met and the lessons and insights she gathered during her study tour have shaped her advocacy and career priorities and directions for more than 20 years.
Now, as a Churchill Fellow, Rachael is happy to help architects and others working in built environment fields to prepare your own Churchill Fellowship application, and to offer advice about how to frame your project, plan your research and manage the logistics of travel, interviews and compiling your report.
And if you’re interested in reading Rachael’s report - which contains many useful lessons about how to improve sustainable and affordable housing outcomes - you can download a copy by clicking on the button at the right.
