She has a professional degree in Architecture and a Masters in Research from the University of the Witwatersrand, and a PhD from KU Leuven. She was Guest Professor in the gta – the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture – at ETH Zürich from September 2022 to July 2023. Her academic work revisits the modernist project in architecture, 1945-1990. Her grounded research has considered how its transformation through the agency of Africa presents a conceptual model for design, lived modernism. Her current and connected writing projects are Minelives, a transdisciplinary study with TU Delft (2022-2026) of post-extractivist urbanism and landscapes; and Sectioning Colonial Architecture, on relations between technical representation and extractivism in architectural practice.
