Her research broadly focuses on early modern architecture of Italy, focusing on the treatment of structural defects, destruction, and demolition by architects of the period. She also examines the undergirding cultural history and early modern reception of failed or failing buildings and connects them to our own concerns about building destruction, functional obsolescence, and heritage preservation in the twenty-first century. Her secondary research concentrates on the material construction and preservation of East Asian architecture, particularly timber buildings from the Joseon dynasty.
