Andrew Scheinman

Andrew Scheinman is a Ph.D. candidate in the History of Architecture and Urban Development program at Cornell University, where his research examines how architectural transformations reorganized building labor across the United States, Mexico, and Cuba between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Tracing the circulation of architects, contracting firms, materials, and ideas across porous national boundaries, his work situates the construction site as a central mediator of hemispheric political and economic change. Prior to his time at Cornell, Scheinman was an editor at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, and he continues to edit a range of publications and exhibitions by scholars, artists, and architects. His writing has been published or is forthcoming in Ædificare, Thresholds, Migrant Journal, feeeels, and on the CCA website, among other venues, and he holds degrees from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design and Washington University in St. Louis. At Cornell, he works with María González Pendás (Architecture), Raymond B. Craib (History), and Tejasvi Nagaraja (ILR).
