    Late 20th century Architectural and Urban Culture

    I am interested in the architectural and urban changes after the so-called "Death of Modernism." In particular, how architects and architectural historians transposed methods and ideas from the Modern Movement into other discourses? How did the contemporaneous environmental and radical movement shaped discussions in architecture and urbanism? My research method combines archival research with inter-disciplinary studies, drawing references from social science, geography and planning policies.

    I am interested in receiving PhD applications in this research area, in particular
    - Postmodern architecture
    - Other actors in architecture: politicians, policy makers, activists, etc
    - Land Rights and citizenship
