Matthew Gin
Assistant Professor of Architectural History Matthew Gin is a historian of 18th-century European architecture and visual culture. Of particular focus in his scholarship are actors, objects, and forms of expertise that sat on the edges of architectural practice in the early modern period. His current book project, Paper Monuments: The Politics of Ephemeral Festival Architecture in Enlightenment France, is an expanded material and cultural history of temporary pageant decorations from the 17th century to the French Revolution.

Gin’s research has received awards from the Society for Court Studies and the Historians of Eighteenth-Century Art and Architecture. Most recently, he was named an inaugural IDEAS Research Fellow at the Society of Architectural Historians. Forthcoming publications will appear in Renaissance Quarterly, The Court Historian, and the edited volume Material Cultures of the Global 18th Century: Art, Mobility and Change (Bloomsbury Academic).

Gin holds a PhD in Architectural History from Harvard University, an MED in Architectural History from Yale University, and a BA in Art History and BM in Baroque Flute from Oberlin College. Previously he worked at the Museum of Modern Art and the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust.
