Enrique Ramirez

Enrique Ramirez is a historian and scholar of modern and contemporary architecture, urbanism, and landscape. He has lectured widely and his writings, which cover a variety of topics, have appeared in publications like The Journal of the History of Ideas Blog, e-flux, Harvard Design Magazine, The Avery Review, The Journal of Architecture (UK), Manifest: A Journal of American Architecture and Urbanism, Perspecta: The Yale Architectural Journal, Thresholds, AA Files, Quaderns, Materia, Places Journal, and Pidgin Magazine. He contributed an essay to the companion volume for Le Corbusier: An Atlas of Modern Landscapes, an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York curated by Jean-Louis Cohen with Barry Bergdoll. He is at work on two forthcoming manuscripts. The first considers how exchanges between architectural and aeronautical cultures in 18th- and 19th-century France constructed new, modernized ideas about air and the natural environment. The second considers Thomas Pynchon’s historical novels as ways to frame issues of architectural and environmental history from a distinctly global vantage point.
