Caroline Rabourdin is Senior Lecturer in Architecture, Histories & Theories at the University of Greenwich. Trained as an architect, she has taught at Ecole Spéciale d’Architecture, Chelsea College of Arts, the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL and the AA School of Architecture, where she initiated the AA Visiting School in Paris: Architecture & Ecriture. 

Her interdisciplinary research explores the form of the literary essay as a critical and creative practice and the space between languages as a productive space for new architectural ideas. She is the author of Sense in Translation: Essays on the Bilingual Body (Routledge, 2020) and ‘Being outside inside Oran: Deconstruction, translation and architecture in Hélène Cixous’s “Promised Cities”’ (Routledge, forthcoming). She recently completed a translation project funded by the Arts Council England, with writer Sophie Lewis and graphic designer Matthew Chrislip, which resulted in an innovative digital publication.
