André Bideau is an architecture theoretician, historian and critic. He holds a M.Arch from ETH Zurich and a PhD from Zurich University. He is co-director of the MAS program in the History and Theory of Architecture at ETH Zurich and also teaches history and theory of architecture at Accademia di architettura Mendrisio. In 2017 he was a co-founder of Zentrum Architektur Zürich where he has curated several exhibitions. Bideau’s research and teaching address intersections of architecture production, urbanization and urban governance under the socio-economic dynamics of postmodernism and Post-Fordism. He has lectured and published extensively on this subject, in particular on the work of architect O.M. Ungers and on Swiss historian of urbanism André Corboz where he was lead curator of a major retrospective shown in 2022 in Mendrisio and at ETH Lausanne.
