Julia Walker is Associate Professor of Art History at The State University of New York in Binghamton, USA. Her research focuses on modern and contemporary architecture, emphasizing the persistence and transformation of modernist ideas within contemporary practice—and the ways in which this modernist inheritance informs, inflects, and destabilizes claims to political meaning. Her current projects examine the underrepresentation of women in architectural practice and explore the history of architectural criticism as a genre.
“Walker writes about contemporary architecture not as a critic but as a sharp-eyed, thought-provoking historian. Berlin Contemporary is a meticulously researched book that raises the bar for the study of recent urbanism; Walker’s luscious, flowing prose makes for effortless reading, despite the seriousness of the subject. A formidable achievement.” * Carla Yanni, Distinguished Professor of Art History, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA * “A deeply researched book on a city that has, in the course of its reconstruction, arguably become the cultural capital of Europe, Berlin Contemporary grapples with issues of architecture, politics, the public sphere, and memory that have implications for cities around the world.” * Elizabeth Otto, Professor of Modern & Contemporary Art History, State University of New York at Buffalo, USA * “The words ‘Reunification of Germany’ seem to indicate a singular event. In reality, it is hardly a done deal even today. Approaching the topic in a way that is both sensitive and provocative, Walker’s book, interblending history and criticism, helps us see how architecture operates within complex political, geo-political, and cultural environments.” * Mark Jarzombek, Professor of the History & Theory of Architecture, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA *
