Description:
Internationally renowned and award-winning historian Dr. Robert Jan van Pelt's The Evidence Room is a chilling exploration of the role architecture played in constructing Auschwitz - arguably the Nazis' most horrifying facility.
Brief description:
Anne Bordeleau was awarded a PhD from the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies (University College London, UK) after receiving her professional degree and Masters in the history and theory of architecture from McGill University (Montreal). She is an architect and historian whose research interests include the epistemology of the architectural project, as well as the historiographical and practical bearing of investigating the relations between architecture and time. She is fundamentally interested in architecture as a cultural act, a commitment that informs her research as much as her approach to education.
Review Quotes:
"[The Evidence Room] is a remarkable achievement, among the most important works in my view on the Nazi 'project' - accessible but concise and extraordinarily compelling."
