Hilde Heynen is a professor of architectural theory at the University of Leuven, Belgium. Her research focuses on issues of modernity, modernism and gender in architecture. In Architecture and Modernity: A Critique (MIT Press, 1999) she investigated the relationship between architecture, modernity and dwelling.
She also engaged with the intersection between architecture and gender studies, resulting in the volume Negotiating Domesticity (co-edited with Gulsum Baydar, Routledge, 2005). She co-edited the 2012 Sage Handbook of Architectural Theory (with Greig Crysler and Stephen Cairns).
