More About Me
Marianne’s scholarly research explores modern architecture and the domestic interior from an interdisciplinary and feminist perspective. Her doctoral dissertation, “‘A Decorator in the Best Sense’: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Lilly Reich, the Fabric Curtain Partition, and the Articulation of the German Modern Interior” investigates the Weimar-era oeuvre of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, focusing on the key role of the fabric room dividing partition in the open plan, through the lens of both architecture and of interior decorating.
Marianne’s work appears in The Architect’s Newspaper, Design and Culture, Studies in the Decorative Arts, and two edited collections. Her review of The Edith Farnsworth House: Architecture, Preservation, Culture (Phaidon, 2024) will appear in the Fall, 2025 issue of the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians. Marianne has presented her research at the College Art Association Annual Conference; the Dorich House Annual Conference at the Centre for the Study of the Design of the Modern Interior, Kingston University, U.K.; the Feminist Art and Art History Conference, Barnard College; the Southwest Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians Annual Conference; the Newport Symposium; and the Symposium in the History of Decorative Arts, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.
