Cairo di sopra in giù: Perspective, Photography, and the “Everyday”

Christian A. Hedrick is an architect and a PhD candidate at MIT. His dissertation is tentatively titled German Architects and the Encounter with Egypt in the Nineteenth Century. His work utilizes the drawings and buildings generated by these architects and their experience with Egyptian and Islamic architecture to identify the relationship between different modes of representation from the historiography of architecture to its formal expression as a cultural and political identity. He received an MArch from the University of Michigan and a BA in History from John Carroll University.
