RECORD has announced the winners of its inaugural Architectural Record Traveling Fellowship competition, Lea Oxenhandler and Benjamin Halpern. In honor of the magazine’s 125th anniversary, Record is funding the travel expenses of these two young designers while they conduct research overseas, each pursuing a creative project that addresses architecture’s interdisciplinary applications.
