The Climate of Architectural History and Theory: Meredith TenHoor

The Climate of Architectural History and Theory is a series of daytime lectures from guest scholars presented by the Department of Architecture's History and Theory Committee.

Meredith TenHoor is an architectural and urban historian, and the coordinator of undergraduate architectural history and theory at Pratt. Her research examines how architecture, urbanism and landscape design participate in the distribution of resources, and how these design practices have produced understandings of the limits and capacities of bodies. She has written extensively about the relationships between agriculture, architecture, and cultural and territorial change in twentieth-century France, and about the intellectual history of 20th century architectural theory. She is working on new projects about the recent global history of toxic building materials, and about the architect Nicole Sonolet.
