Scholarship Honors Pritzker Prize Winner Kevin Roche, Supports Architecture Students
A new scholarship fund by the Connecticut Architecture Foundation that honors Pritzker Prize recipient and architect Kevin Roche and his wife Jane has been established by the couple’s children to celebrate their parents’ historic contributions and support architecture students as they step into architecture and design careers.
Called the Jane & Kevin Roche Scholarship Fund, the program’s $150,000 seed money was secured through the Roche family’s decision to repurpose Roche’s Pritzker Architecture Prize, a Henry Moore sculpture titled Two Piece Reclining Figure: Cut, “making the Pritzker work for the betterment of architecture in a new way, refocusing its lens from the most heralded to the least.”
