Her research focuses on the modalities of representation and the mediation of modern architecture, for example on film and television; on the cultural and intellectual histories on architecture, in particular the position of women architects and their networks; on the complementary activities of architecture such as construction history and the pedagogy of architecture; as well as on the conservation of 20th century architecture, in particular on less recognized programs such as private mass housing, care architecture and sport. She publishes regularly on these topics for academic publications and at international congresses.
