Short Bio

Curriculum Vitae

 

 

 

Kenny Cupers studies the history of the built environment in Twentieth-century Europe and the United States. His work explores the epistemology of the user in modern urbanism, the historical and theoretical relationship between architecture and the social sciences, and the role of everyday and ephemeral practices in the making and governing of cities and landscapes. Ultimately, his research seeks to understand how human agency shapes and is shaped by the built environment. His prior training and experience as an architect complement these scholarly interests, and drive his transdisciplinary commitment towards contemporary practice and public debate.
