Kyle D. Taylor Fellowship
for Architectural Studies
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
The Kyle D. Taylor Fellowship for Architectural Studies has been established to honor the life and legacy of Kyle D. Taylor. With the vision supported by his family, the Fellowship was realized by those who affectionately knew and worked alongside Kyle at the architecture firm, D. Stanley Dixon Architect. Kyle, an architect and valuable member of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art Southeast Chapter, was passionate about the classical and traditional architecture of the Southeastern United States. This fellowship seeks to celebrate Kyle’s desire to study and learn from the masters of the past and the precedent they observed.
The 2024 Fellowship has been awarded to dual recipients Christian Orme and Lucas Misra both of Atlanta, Georgia. Christian is doing an in depth study of the work of architect John Russell Pope. Lucas has embarked on a study of the urbanism of Savannah, Georgia, specifically exploring and documenting the typology of the Savannah Squares.

Fellowship for Architectural Studies Fund
The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art Southeast Chapter Board of Trustees together with the Kyle D. Taylor Fellowship for Architectural Studies Committee has set a goal to raise an additional $200,000 by 2029 to endow the fellowship and continue the work that Kyle began. There are very few opportunities for in-depth analysis available to students and practicing professionals in the United States and limited opportunities for the study of classical and traditional architecture in the Southeast region. Donations continue to be accepted.
