Linda Stagni, Ph.D.

Linda Stagni is a postdoctoral researcher whose work examines how media and visual narratives govern the ways in which we define and understand architecture, reconsidering the spatial meaning of propaganda at large. Her research interests include 20^th-century periodical studies, early modern urban representations, and Swiss architectural historiography. 
She earned her PhD at ETH Zurich, where she also served as lecturer and postdoctoral researcher at the Chair for the History and Theory of Architecture, Prof Dr Maarten Delbeke. There, she taught courses on Swiss histories, national image dissemination,  and the uses of the past and deep time in contemporary architectural discourse. She participated in the project Swiss Rococo Cultures Idioms of ornament and the architecture of East Switzerland (1700-1850), funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. 
Her research unites methods from architectural practices, art, and architectural history with the history of science, environment, and modernization, employing a transhistorical approach to contemporary phenomena. 
As co-founder of the special interest group of the European Architectural History Network (EAHN) ‘On Vanished Buildings’, she is involved in a scientific exploration that reveals historiographical discomfort in addressing architecture as vulnerable. She is also a founding member of DocTalks, an international platform for architectural history and theory, and a member of [wohn]zeitschriften, a scholarly network dedicated to 20th-century domestic spaces and their mediatization.
