Lisa Haber-Thomson is an architectural historian whose research explores the historical entanglements between architecture and law. She is currently at work on a book manuscript about carceral architectures across England and its expanding empire. A second major project investigates the historical relationships between architecture and property law. In parallel, she is interested in how architecture becomes implicated in contemporary legal practice. Her work has been generously supported by the Sir John Soane Foundation, the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, and the Wilder Green Fellowship in Architecture at MacDowell. Trained as an architect, Haber-Thomson teaches architectural history courses as well as design studio.
