Histories of architecture and the built environment

Architectural pasts, styles, power, and theory
Our researchers engage in historical work across the design, use and status of architecture and the built environment.

We have expertise in the architectural, urban and landscape histories of North America, Asia, Europe, and the Pacific. We examine environmental, institutional and intellectual histories of architecture, the links between architecture, power, capital, and the state, and the styles and key figures that have driven architectural practice and the profession. Current projects include understanding the role of colonialism and architecture in the emergence of contemporary Australia, and the importance of critical heritage analysis.
