Hilde Heynen

Dr. Hilde Heynen serves as a Professor of Architectural Theory at KU Leuven, Belgium, where she has made significant contributions to understanding the relationships between architecture, modernity, and gender. Her influential work "Architecture and Modernity: A Critique" examines the complex relationship between critical theory and modern architecture. Her research spans architectural theory and criticism, modernism, and gender studies in architecture, resulting in notable publications including "Negotiating Domesticity," "Sage Handbook of Architectural Theory," and a recent intellectual biography of Sibyl Moholy-Nagy. Through her work, she continues to explore how architecture reflects and shapes social and cultural dynamics, particularly focusing on the intersection of modernism, gender, and architectural theory.
