Todd Reisz is an architect and writer living in Amsterdam. His work examines the global practice of architecture, specifically how the architect circulates technologies and cultural narratives. His recent book Showpiece City: How Architecture Made Dubai (Stanford University Press, 2020) explores architecture’s packaging to sell Dubai on a global stage. He has also co-edited Building Sharjah (Birkhäuser, 2021), an archival investigation of the city’s vanishing 20th-century landscape.
