At EPFL, Professor Brothers’s teaching will focus on redesigning the first- and second-year history courses, developing a comparative and global approach to the history of architecture and cities. Structured around themes such as Monuments, Materials, Meanings and Architecture, Imitation and Invention, the courses will combine thematic lectures with curated conversations featuring invited guests. Her lab, CHAART (Critical Histories of Architecture and Art) will bring together a range of specialists on the Early Modern Mediterranean world.
