My primary research project centres on the Centre Pompidou in Paris seen from the perspective of the client. It examines the rationalization of architecture that took place in response to the social disruptions of 1968, along with the development of a corresponding set of graphic and formal techniques. In the mid-2010s I participated in a larger research project on Southern California architecture in the 1970s.
From 2017-2020 I was the Multimedia Reviews Editor for the Journal of Architectural Historians. My goal was broadly expand the definition of multimedia and to treat buildings as media in themselves.
Between 2000 and 2015 I collaborated on several projects as a software and information designer that fall under the category of Digital Humanities. The longest of those was the Electronic Book Review, one of the first publications to exploit the emerging potential of what was then the relatively new internet. From this grew my work on the Electronic Literature Directory, an online repository for born-digital literary works. During this time, I also collaborated on several projects related to the management and publication of cultural resources. All of this work asked how online publication changed the epistemologies of specific fields, and how in turn changes to those fields produced new demands on scholarly publication and dissemination.
