Biography
Katherine Romba specializes in architectural history with an emphasis on modern architecture and urbanism. Cultural anthropology has informed her investigations into architectural theory, practice, and experience. Past research includes the study of the social meaning underpinning German engineering theory, and the analysis of humanist Bildung (cultivation) as an important kind of cultural capital circulating in German architectural thought, research that was funded in part by the Canadian Centre for Architecture.
