Ida Annah Ryan was a pioneering United States architect. She was born on November 4, 1873, at Waltham, MA, one of five children of Albert Morse Ryan and Carrie S. Jameson. Albert Morse Ryan was a Waltham city employee and historian who also ran a milk business.〔Mannon, Melissa, "Waltham" (1998), pages 74 & 109〕 She graduated from the Waltham High School. During her Waltham High School years, Ryan was first attracted to the study of architectural design. ==Architecture Studies at MIT== Ida A. Ryan entered architecture studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which offered the first collegiate architectural studies program in the United States. There she studied with the noted architecture professor Constant-Désiré Despradelle. In 1905, Ryan received the Rotch Prize of two hundred dollars for the regular student making the best record during their four years of studies.〔"Against all Odds: MIT’s Pioneering Women of Landscape Architecture". by Eran Ben-Joseph, Holly D. Ben-Joseph, Anne C. Dodge, November 2006〕 At the end of her term at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Ryan’s junior design received the first of the first four prizes. Thereafter, she was invited to compete with only senior and fifth class men in the Junior Beaux Arts contest, in which she won second prize for a grand plan, elevation, and section of a public market.〔''Women as Architects'', by Joseph Dana Miller, in ''Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly'', June 1900, Vol. L— NO. 2, Whole NO. 294.

Ryan became the first woman to earn a master of science degree from MIT and also the first woman in the United States to receive a master's degree in architecture. In 1907, Ryan was awarded a traveling scholarship of $1200, the highest prize that the Architectural Department could confer on one of its graduates. This enabled her to spend a year in Europe engaged in the study of architecture. Ryan spent the greater part of the time in Spain and Italy, making her headquarters in Naples.〔"The Tech" (MIT), Boston MA, October 7, 1907〕 While at MIT Ryan was a member of ''Cleophan'' a club for women students that also included Matilda A. Fraser and Harriet F. Locke (see below).〔Technique, Volume 12, by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, p. 106〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ida Annah Ryan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
