Iowa State University

The research group "Modernism in European Architecture and Culture" explores the nature of the modernist project in Europe since the 1750s. Examples of group members' projects include Kimberly Elman Zarecor's research on the relationship between architecture and communism in postwar Czechoslovakia, Ulrike Passe's interdisciplinary work with engineers on the ecological aspects of Alvar Aalto's work, and Mikesch Muecke's research on the intersection between nineteenth-century European architectural theory and contemporary responses in the built work of firms such as Herzog and DeMeuron, Peter Zumthor, and Bolles & Wilson. For our materials, we scour libraries and archives worldwide; scan indexes in obscure and well-known books; and enjoy reading old issues of Oppositions and Assemblage and current issues of Grey Room, Metropolis, JSAH, The New Yorker, Domus, Lotus, and Dwell.
