Michael Abrahamson

Michael Abrahamson is an architecture historian and assistant professor at the
University of Utah School of Architecture. His research explores the materiality of buildings and the methods of architectural practice across the twentieth century. He holds a PhD
in Architecture History and Theory from the University of Michigan, where his dissertation
was the first rigorous analysis of the work of Latvian-American architect Gunnar Birkerts – an attempt to square the assertions of authorial individuality proffered by its figurehead
with the day-to-day bureaucratic work of those he employed.
