New Postdoc employee at PRIVACY

Rikke Lyngsø Christensen is employed as Postdoc at Centre for Privacy Studies, starting 1 September 2018.

Rikke is concerned with the ways in which architectural history is produced and in trying to find alternative ways of doing so.

Rikke forsees that a focus on privacy within architectural history will result in new knowledge about lesser-known buildings from outside the usual canon. She believe that a focus on privacy will tell us more about the lives actually lived in the built environment.

Rikke is mag.art from The Department of Art History at The University of Aarhus, and holds a PhD in art history from UCPH. Her previous research has focused on early modern architecture and architectural historiography of the 19th and 20th centuries.

In her PhD dissertation she examined the creative processes of the Renaissance architect in order to understand the built architecture of the period in a new light - in the light not of pure or creative imitation of antiquity, but in the light of the media and methods employed, when architects set out to investigate ancient remains.

We are looking forward to working with Rikke at Centre for Privacy Studies.
