Brandt, Lydia
Professor
My work asks questions about buildings and landscapes and the ways in which places shape, reflect, and respond to politics, memory, and society in general. I specialize in popular American architecture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with a particular focus on the ubiquitous Colonial Revival.
