Doctoral positions in the history of Architecture, Information, and the Environment

The interdisciplinary project, “Data Centers: An Architectural History of Environmental Information,” seeks to explore how architecture—understood as both material structures and a conceptual framework—has enabled the translation of the environment into quantifiable information. Through a series of case studies, ranging from extraction and harvesting of primary resources to management of communications, the project will examine how empires, democracies, and corporations leverage a vast range of buildings and infrastructures to transform natural environments into controllable systems.
