A travel bursary for architectural students in memory of our colleague Karla Roman
LOM has established a £2,500 annual travel bursary in memory of Karla Roman, a talented architect and colleague who was killed while cycling to work in February 2017. She was a creative and hard-working designer and a good friend who rapidly became a key member of our team, at the start of what was a very promising career.
As well as the UK, Karla worked in Italy and in her native Brazil. She travelled to build her architectural knowledge, and the Karla Roman Travel Bursary was established to enable other architecture students to do the same.
The bursary gives students the opportunity to travel as part of their education or wider studies. It will be awarded to the applicant providing the most creative and compelling case for support, with financial circumstances and need being taken into account.
LOM would like to thank Karla’s partner for his generous donation to support the bursary.
“The opportunity to travel to a country with a very different culture from the UK has proved to be an invaluable experience to my thinking as an architect, informing my design approach, broadening my knowledge and helping to shape my way of thinking in the future.”
Eleanor Hyde, bursary recipient

“Experiencing a change of environment facilitated a cognitive shift and a clarity of thought, particularly regarding my career as a designer and urbanist. I discovered layers of imagination that I will continue to nurture, as well as an appreciation for where best to place myself when I finish my studies. The bursary allowed me to have a beautiful experience that has forever changed me.”
