Marie-Madeleine Ozdoba is a postdoctoral researcher in the research group ‘Historical Urban and Spatial Research’ since July 2024, funded by a cooperation centre of the Max Weber Foundation. At the IRS, she is pursuing her postdoctoral project ‘The Invention of the Socialist Environment. Media Mediations of the Modern City in the GDR’ at the interface of architectural history and visual studies.

She studied architecture at the Vienna University of Technology and Visual Culture Studies at Goldsmiths College in London. After gaining experience in architectural practice, she completed her doctorate at the Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris. In her dissertation ‘’Tomorrow's Life Today‘ Le mythe de l'architecture ultramoderne dans la presse américaine (1947-1964)’, she examined the media narrative of modern architecture in the press in the United States as a site of a reshaping of the reference to the future after the Second World War. From 2018 to 2024, she was a research associate at the German Forum for Art History (DFK Paris), where she coordinated the annual themes 2019/21 ‘The Arts and the New Media’ and 2022/24 ‘The Visible and the Sayable. The languages of art history’.
