Mireille Roddier

Mireille Roddier is an associate professor of architecture and women’s and gender studies at the University of Michigan.

Her current research intersects building metabolisms, economic theories of degrowth, and ecofeminist discourses on care, to study the potential of vernacular practices and forms to regulate energy consumption towards both climate change mitigation and social well-being. This work benefited from a 2023–24 fellowship at the University of Michigan’s Institute for the Humanities. The work of her collaborative design practice, Mitnick-Roddier, has received numerous awards, including the Architecture League Prize, Architectural Record’s 2005 Design Vanguard, and a 2021-22 fellowship at the American Academy in Rome, where her fascination for spolia and starling murmurations converged into the study of material flows.
