Dr Panagiotis Doudesis
Historian of architecture, decorative arts, and dining practicesArchitect
Bio
I am a historian of architecture and the decorative arts and an architect, holding a PhD in History of Art from the University of Cambridge. My research concerns the connections among architecture, design, and the dining cultures of Early Modern Europe (1500-1800). My doctoral thesis examined the fascinating properties of table settings from Western Europe in the long eighteenth century. My professional experience ranges from teaching in design studios and seminars on the history of art and architecture to residential and hospitality design. My written work has been published so far by Bloomsbury, with more publications coming soon.
