Penelope Haralambidou
Penelope Haralambidou is Professor of Architecture and Spatial Culture and the director of the Cinematic and Videogame Architecture master’s programme at The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. In her previous role as Director of Communications, she was part of the team that developed the award-winning Bartlett Shows website. Her innovative research-based teaching uses digital film and immersive environments to redefine architectural design values by introducing time, storytelling and long-term thinking. Her research employs drawing, model-making and digital film as investigatory tools to analyse ideas and work in architecture, visual representation, the politics of vision, art and cinema. Her work has been exhibited internationally. She is the author of the monograph Marcel Duchamp and the Architecture of Desire (Routledge, 2013) and has contributed writing on themes such as architectural representation, allegory, figural theory, stereoscopy and film to a wide range of publications. Her current design-led research investigates Christine de Pizan’s proto-feminist text The Book of the City of Ladies (1405), and her solo show City of Ladies was hosted at DomoBaal Gallery in 2020.
