Associate Professor of Art and Architectural History, Department of Art History Originally trained as an architect, Fabiola López-Durán earned her Ph.D. in the History, Theory and Criticism of Architecture from MIT. Adopting a transnational and interdisciplinary perspective, López-Durán’s research and teaching interrogates the cross-pollination of ideas and mediums—science, politics and aesthetics—that ignited the process of modernization on both sides of the Atlantic, with an emphasis on France and Latin America. Her broad research agenda focuses on global modernisms and the complicities between capitalism, racism, and the construction of the built environment. She is the author of Eugenics in the Garden: Transatlantic Architecture and the Crafting of Modernity, recipient of a SAH/Mellon Author Award in 2018 and the Robert Motherwell Book Prize in 2019; and co co-editor and contributor of the Aggregate Architectural History Collaborative new 2022 book Architecture in Development: Systems and the Emergence of the Global South. López-Durán has been the recipient of the 2015 Sophia Meyer Farb Prize for Outstanding Teaching/Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society, and of the 2018 Faculty Teaching and Mentoring Award (Co-winner with Professor Ashutosh Sabharwal, School of Engineering).
