Adopting a transnational and interdisciplinary perspective, Fabiola López-Durán'southward enquiry and instruction focuses on the history and theory of modern and gimmicky European and Latin American art and architecture. Her new book, Eugenics in the Garden: Transatlantic Architecture and the Crafting of Modernity, investigates a particular strain of eugenics that, at the plough of the twentieth century, moved from the realms of medicine and police force to design, compages, and urban planning—becoming a critical instrument in the crafting of modernity. Her work analyzes the cross-pollination of ideas and mediums—science, politics and aesthetics—that informed the procedure of modernization on both sides of the Atlantic, with an accent on Latin America.
Originally trained as an builder, López-Durán earned her Ph.D in the History, Theory, and Criticism of Compages and Art from Massachusetts Found of Engineering science (MIT). Prior to joining the Rice University faculty, she was the 2009-2011 Mellon Postdoctoral Swain in the Humanities at the Department of History of Art at University of California-Berkeley. Her awards include fellowships from the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, Dedalus Foundation, CLIR, Harvard Center for European Studies, Camargo Foundation, Samuel H. Kress Foundation and the Fulbright Plan. She has more recently been recognized past the Society of Architectural Historians with a SAH/Mellon Author Accolade for her 2018 book, Eugenics in the Garden. Her work has been published in Europe, Asia, Southward America and the United States.
