The Fred Tschopp
Senior Scholarship is a Fees Award given to an entry level MLA student. The awards are made for a student whose work the
Scholarship panel feels conforms to three criteria;
1. The potential
for their research to contribute new knowledge to the discipline of landscape
architecture through design research
2. The potential
to make a challenging, exciting and significant difference to our world, cities
and landscapes
3. The potential
to honour the legacy of Fred Tschopp Snr., as characterized by his creative and
innovative expansion of the traditional boundaries of the Profession of
Landscape Architecture as represented in his "Pioneering work in
Rotorua".
Four students applied for the scholarship this year. Grace He, Grace Warne, Kieran Dove and Raewyn Beavis. The four candidates were interviewed by Fred Tschopp Jnr. who had made a special trip from California to Auckland to select a worthy recipient to honour his father. The winner of the 2013 Fred Tschopp Senior Scholarship was Grace He. Graces’ research project, a search for an urban meeting place for the different cultures of the Auckland inner city has a powerful potential to inform contemporary urban discussion. However Fred jnr.also felt that the three runners-ups had displayed innovative thinking and he decided to award three prizes of three hundred dollars to show his appreciation of their commendable effort.
