Theodora Vardouli researches design and architecture’s entwining with digital technologies and computation. She is an Associate Professor at the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture at ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ where she directs the Computational Design Exploratory (CoDEx). Before joining ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ, Vardouli completed a PhD in . She is an External Examiner for two and a member of the editorial board for the journal .

Vardouli’s research examines histories, cultural meanings, and operational implications of algorithmic techniques for architectural design through a combination of historical inquiry and critical design and making. She is the author of (MIT Press, 2024), a book examining architecture’s relationship with mathematics and computation in the first postwar decades with focus on the material and symbolic prevalence of graphs. She is co-editor, with Olga Touloumi, of (Routledge, 2020) and, with Daniel Cardoso Llach, of (Applied Research and Design Publishing, 2023) – a book based on the eponymous exhibition curated by Cardoso Llach (Pittsburgh 2017) and (Montreal 2021). Along with Cardoso Llach, Vardouli co-founded , a platform for critical and creative research at the nexus of design and computation. For a list of publications, .
