Henriette Steiner is Associate Professor in the Section for Landscape Architecture and Planning at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. She graduated with a PhD from the Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge, UK in 2008, after which she worked for five years as a Research Associate in the Department of Architecture at the ETH Zurich in Switzerland. Her research and publications cross disciplinary boundaries between architecture and the humanities, and her research interests concern the way the modern city has been represented and discussed, read and interpreted.
