Biography

Rebecca Henn investigates social structures in the built environment, using lenses of organizational theory to understand how technical and economic progress is often limited by societal norms and conventions. Her work has uncovered barriers to environmental sustainability, highlighting the incompatibilities in the meaning systems of team members in the building design and construction industry. Henn explores institutional logics in design, suggesting that the term "design" embodies myriad meanings across different professional communities. She collaborates with colleagues to reconcile diverse definitions and provide deeper cross-professional understanding in the discipline of architecture.
