Prof. Barry Bergdoll is a renowned expert on modern architectural history and recently curated a MoMA exhibit (still ongoing) on “Latin America in Construction: Architecture 1955-1980.” His scholarly research interests center on modern architectural history, with a particular emphasis on France and Germany between 1750 and 1900. Trained in art history rather than architecture, his approach is closely allied with cultural history and the history and sociology of professions. He has studied questions of the politics of cultural representation in architecture, the ideological content of nineteenth-century architectural theory, and the changing role of both architecture as a profession and architecture as a cultural product in nineteenth-century European society. Bergdoll’s interests also include the intersections of architecture and new technologies—and eventually cultures—of representations in the modern period, especially photography and film. He has worked on several film productions about architecture, in addition to curating a number of architectural exhibitions concerned with the history and problematics of exhibiting architecture, and the history of museological practices in relationship to architecture.
