Bio/Research
Dr. Lisa Landrum is an academic leader, award-winning teacher, and licensed architect. She holds a professional Bachelor of Architecture from Carleton University and a post-professional Master’s and PhD in Architectural History and Theory from McGill University. In between her undergraduate and graduate studies, Landrum performed seven years of diverse architectural work in New York City. Her doctoral dissertation explored the mythic bases and poetic origins of architectural acts by interpreting two ancient Greek plays in which the protagonist is called “architect” while directing schemes of transformation for the common good. These architect-protagonists and the plots they lead not only provide insight into the emergent role of architects in the fifth century BCE, but also vividly dramatize certain representative deeds and ethical dilemmas that remain to this day integral to an architect's performance.
