Andr\u00e9 Patr\u00e3o is Assistant Professor of History and Theory of the Built Environment in the Department of Art History at Emory University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His research has primarily focused on significant moments of exchange between architects and philosophers from the early 20th century to today. Studying the contexts that enabled these interactions, the intellectual ruptures they triggered, the methodological processes that brought them about, and ultimately their effects upon both disciplines, his investigations have shown the consequential ways in which architecture and philosophy have shaped one another. His most recent work tackles contemporary issues of the built environment more broadly understood, within a framework that combines ethics, aesthetics, and political philosophy.
Prior to joining Emory in Spring 2025, Andr\u00e9 taught at ETH Z\u00fcrich, Yale University and at the \u00c9cole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne (EPFL). He is part of the Editorial Board of Kh\u014drein: Journal for Architecture and Philosophy, and a collaborator with the International Society for the Philosophy of Architecture. His work has been published in academic journals and other outlets such as Architecture Philosophy, Architecture and Culture, ARENA Journal of Architectural Research, Drawing Matter, Lingua, Kh\u014drein, and Log.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
