Nathalie Roseau is an architect-engineer and a doctor in urbanism. Her researches, which favor a historical perspective, focus on the dynamics of metropolitan transformation and the place of infrastructures, their temporalities and their representations. Her doctoral thesis, published in 2012 (Aerocity, Quand l'avion fait la ville, Parenthèses), traces the history of the relationship between the city and air mobility from 1909 to the present day, in Paris and New York. Her habilitation, soon to be published (Temps et infrastructure, le futur des métropoles, Metispresses), focuses on the role of infrastructure in the processes of metropolitan expansion through three surveys conducted in New York, Paris and Hong Kong. She has co-directed several research programs on the history of the aerial culture, the governance of large metropolises, and currently the entangled history of metropolitan areas with the www.inventerlegrandparis.fr project. Nathalie Roseau is professor at the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech and research director at the Laboratory Technics, Territories and Societies (CNRS). A visiting professor at the Politecnico di Milano (2009-2015), she co-authored a book with architect Paul Andreu, Paris CDG1 (B2 Editions, 2014), with whom she collaborated from 1997 to 2003 in the architecture office of Aéroports de Paris.
