  • About

    Claire Zimmerman is a member of the faculty in history of art and in the architecture program at the University of Michigan. She teaches courses on nineteenth- and twentienth-century European and America architecture with emphases in Weimar Germany and the United Kingdom. Research interests include architecture culture as it interacts with commerce and industry, and the infrastructures of globalization that underpinned the spread of modern architecture throughout the twentieth century. Her co-edited essay collection, Neo-avant-garde and Postmodern: Postwar Architecture in Britain and Beyond (with Mark Crinson) appeared as Volume 21 in the Yale Studies in British Art (Yale University Press) in Fall 2010; an earlier monograph, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was published by Taschen in 2006. Zimmerman’s recent work has appeared in OASE, AA Files, Perspecta, the Journal of Architecture, and Harvard Design Magazine.  She is completing a manuscript on photography in modern architecture in 2010.
