Bourse dessinée 2026

Deadline for receipt of applications: April 2, 2026
The call for applications is open to students enrolled in 2025-2026 in a national school of architecture, from L2 to Master’s level.
The aim of this grant, organized by the Cité de l’architecture in partnership with the ENSAÉCO network, is to support a personal research-creation process carried out exclusively through hand-drawing, seen as a critical, sensitive and exploratory tool, focusing on contemporary ecological issues.
Each year, a different theme is proposed. The four winners will produce their own sketchbook, each receiving a lump-sum grant of €4,000 gross, paid as royalties in return for the transfer of rights to the works produced as part of the project, under the conditions defined in the contract.
This year’s theme is “Inhabiting the living”: towards an architecture in dialogue with the animal and plant world.
