HOW Top Ten SItes for Designers

Via the HOW e-newsletter I got this morning. Here they are:

Each year, the coveted Rome Prize is awarded to thirty emerging artists and scholars in the early or middle stages of their careers who represent the highest standard of excellence in the arts and humanities. The disciplines include architecture, visual arts and design (graphic, fashion, industrial, interior, lighting, set, and sound design, engineering, urban planning, and other related design fields).
