Teaching
My current teaching encompasses Architectural History and Theory as part of both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Architecture. I have taught the BA third-year ARCH321 module, with a focus on reconstruction, modernism and grassroots spatial practices in postwar London, as well as the MArch theory and methods module, ARCH 480, with seminars focused on architectural writing, language and the role of 'description'. I also supervise MArch dissertations (including on subjects related to post-war/post-disaster reconstruction and the 'afterlives' of historic structures in a postcolonial context), and will be contributing to the design and delivery of the first year BA introductory survey module, ARCH121, considering architecture, environment and equity throughout history.
I have previously taught architectural history as part of Birlbeck college's new MA in the subject and delivered core theoretical modules (focusing on identity, icononography and formalism) within History of Art. Alongside University teaching, I have designed and delivered a new survey course in architectural history for the WEA (Workers Educational Associaiton), exploring modern architecture through the lens of urban political revolutions, from the founding of Washington in the 18th century to Red Vienna in the 1920s-30s, to postcolonial Accra and contemporary Chile.
