Author Information

Manuel López Segura is an architectural historian educated in Britain and the US, and currently resides and works in Paris. He holds a PhD degree from Harvard University. He trained as an architect at the Universitat Politècnica de València and earned a Master’s in architectural history from the University College London. He has been a Fulbright scholar. His research seeks to provide the architecture of democracy with ever-wider historiographical foundations. It expands conceptually, geographically, and chronologically the study of the built environments that consolidated the post-1945 sociopolitical settlement in Western Europe. Alongside his pioneering inquiry into welfare-state architecture and civic spaces in 1980s Spain, his scholarship inaugurates the field of architectural irenics by exploring how edifices and urban plans arbitrated the peaceful resolution of conflict during Italy’s First Republic.
