DESCRIPTION:Theodora Vardouli\nAs part of the Neighbors lecture series\,
  Theodora Vardouli will be presenting her last book\, Graph Vision: Digita
 l Architecture’s Skeletons (MIT Press\, 2024). The book draws a history 
 of architecture's early entanglements with modern mathematics and digital 
 computing by focusing on a hidden protagonist: the graph. Fueled by iconoc
 lastic sentiments and skepticism of geometric depiction\, she explains tha
 t architects turned to the skeletal underpinnings of their work\, and with
  it the graph\, as a site of representation\, operation\, and political po
 ssibility. This publication combines close readings of graphs' architectur
 al manifestations as images\, tools\, and infrastructures for design with 
 original archival work on research centers that spearheaded mathematical a
 nd computational approaches to architecture.\n\nTheodora Vardouli research
 es design and architecture’s entwining with digital technologies and com
 putation. She is an Associate Professor at the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of 
 Architecture at McGill University where she directs the Computational Desi
 gn Exploratory (CoDEx). Her scholarship has been recognized with the 2022 
 Best Paper Award by the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architect
 ure (ACADIA) and the 2022 Mahoney Prize\, for an article co-authored with 
 David Theodore\, by the Special Interest Group for Computing Information a
 nd Society (SIGCIS).
