Research
My research explores issues related to the design and
construction of building envelopes in modern architecture from the early
20th century to the present, with an emphasis on innovative design and
material use. This research
currently focuses on curtain wall design and the use of glass as a
material in contemporary architecture and is manifested in scholarly
research/writing as well as focused design projects.
