Marisabel Marratt holds a B.A. and M.Arch from Princeton University, has a combined twenty-five years of professional practice in architecture, interior architecture and scenography as Senior Designer on projects of wide range and scale, and has garnered a number of design awards.

She is a Ph.D. candidate in the History and Theory concentration of the School of Architecture at Georgia Institute of Technology, where she is focused on nineteenth and twentieth history and theory, philosophies of technology, and aesthetics. Her interests lie at the intersection of history and theory, science and technology studies, studies in technicity, design and materialization. Her specific research centers on the post-war period, and the work of French philosopher of technology Gilbert Simondon (1924-1989), his study of the human engagement in techniques of materialization, their modes of existence, and as particular manifestations of techno-aesthetics. She is interested in exploring the resonance between this work and architecture, with the potential to contribute to the current discourse surrounding history, emergence, materiality and environment. Marisabel also holds a Graduate Certificate in Science and Technology Studies from the Ivan Allen School of the Arts at Georgia Tech.

Alongside her research and studies, Marisabel teaches architectural design studios and a survey course in the History of Modern Architecture at Georgia Institute of Technology.  She has presented her papers at conferences, published in edited compilations and participated in, organized and led symposia. She is a member of the Executive Board of the ConCave Ph.D. student group of the College of Design and Academic Coordinator for the 2020 International Ph.D. Symposium, “Divergence in Architectural Research”.
