In recent years, Pauer has worked on a series of projects aimed at decoding and deconstructing built objects that political actors around the world have used to project power. As such, his academic practice seeks to empower marginalized, underrepresented and vulnerable individuals and communities.Daniels Faculty Emerging Architect Fellow Lukas Pauer is a licensed architect, urbanist, historian and educator.
