Schumacher, Patrik & Rogner, Christian
Bio Sketch
Patrik Schumacher is the principal of Zaha Hadid Architects and the leading theorist/advocate of "parametricism," arguing it is the new style of the digital/virtual age — a central (and contested) figure in Geoffrey's neoliberalism & architecture and digital & parametricism clusters. Christian Rogner is a former collaborator/co-author on the Fordism-and-urbanism debates.

Relevance to Geoffrey's Research
Schumacher matters centrally to Geoffrey's neoliberalism & architecture and digital & parametricism areas: his parametricism-as-style claim is the target of Spencer's and Hopkins's "parametricism as the architecture of neoliberalism" critique.
