Joshua Mardell (he/him) is an architectural historian who works across temporalities and geographies, with his privileged domain of study being British 19^th and 20^th century architecture. His work - informed by queerness as a sensibility – centres particularly on historiographical reflection: in validating the missing sections of architectural history, in unpicking the absence of things—and reconciling those absences. He is drawn primarily to the unsalient, the unsung, and the common or garden. He is particularly interested in reforming the discipline of architectural history to broaden inclusion.
