Jennifer Bloomer

Jennifer Bloomer is an American architect, educator, and author, whose written and professional projects are widely published. Since her introduction - as a Mount Holyoke freshman, fresh from the hills of Southern Appalachia - to James Joyce's confounding text, she has been an indefatigable explorer of "Finnegans Wake." Given her continuing study of, and with, the late philosopher Jacques Derrida, as well as her considered worldview q'il n'y a pas de hors texte de l'architecture, she sees The Wake as an architectonic work of cultural history, ever-ripe for new and radical epistemological operations.

In addition to "The (S)crypts," Dr. Bloomer has penned nearly four dozen published essays on architecture, human culture, and design pedagogy. An edited and annotated collection of these, as well as her drawn and built work, is scheduled to appear in 2026, in a book by University of Pennsylvania Professor of Architecture, Dr. Daniela Fabricius, tentatively titled "Towards A Minor Architecture: The Written and Constructed Work of Jennifer Bloomer."
