Profile


 

Ingeborg Rocker is Assistant Professor of Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. She teaches in the core architecture studio sequence and gives courses and seminars on contemporary architectural theory.

Rocker received the Diploma in Architecture (summa cum laude) from the Rheinisch-Westfaellische Technische Hochschule Aachen, the MS in Advanced Architectural Design (with distinction) from Columbia University, and the Master of Arts from Princeton University. She has taught at Princeton and at the University of Pennsylvania and she was a visiting scholar at the Humbold University in Berlin (2001-2002).

Rocker is currently finishing up her PhD dissertation at Princeton, entitled “Evolving Structures: the Architecture of the Digital Medium.” Her theoretical work is devoted to questions regarding the impact of media on the perception, production, and thinking of architecture. As a designer and teacher of design, she deploys computer modeling as a tool for giving form to theoretical hypotheses in a didactic way.

During the period 1996-1999 she was Project Architect at Eisenman Architects in New York, where she directed the design teams for several of the most renowned projects in that office, including the recently completed Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin, the Virtual House Competition, the ITT Campus Center Competition, and the Staten Island Institute for Arts and Sciences.
