Mireille RODDIER
Architecte
Mireille Roddier is an associate professor of Architecture and teaches in both the design and history/theory curriculum. She also holds a joint appointment with Women’s Studies, and a faculty affiliation at the Institute for Research on Women & Gender.
Her current research focuses on the cyclical emergence of vernacular forms, both architectural and linguistic. Since exploring the architecture of working-class women’s civic spaces in Lavoirs: Washhouses of Rural France (New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2003), she has studied the feedback loops between the visual representation of the built environment and architecture itself as an indexical representation of its place and time. More recently, she has focused on relationship between urban narratives, the production of the public realm, belonging, and appropriation. Borrowing theories of representation developed in other fields (theatre, photography, ethnography), and informed by interdisciplinary fellowships (Institute for the Humanities, Institute for Critical Social Inquiry), her work has explored the specific processes and patterns through which visual narration perpetually transform the world, with a heavy focus on the media representations of Detroit and Paris.
