Research interest
Her research focuses on the history and theory of architecture from the Early Modern era to the beginning of Classical Modernism. In publications and research projects, she has dealt with the visualization of architecture, historical gardens, the canonization of knowledge in teaching media, and the history of art history education. In the context of the Research Training Group, her research interests focus on the area of the institutionalization of the building industry, in particular architectural education at academies, technical universities or schools of arts and crafts or building administrations in the period between the 18th and 20th centuries.
