Her research focuses on the theory and history of architectural exhibitions. Léa-Catherine Szacka is an architect, architectural historian, and writer based in Paris and Oslo.

Routinely referred to, often with an assumed familiarity, by people who forget that they never actually saw it themselves, the exhibition has acquired a formidable “afterlife,” as Léa-Catherine Szacka calls it. A remarkable investigation on the exhibitions that have shaped contemporary architecture. Although attended by a relatively modest number of people, the Biennale has come to be seen as a defining moment and a turning point in relation to the history of architectural postmodernism. It has been in this afterlife that the exhibition came into its own.. The first Venice Biennale of Architecture in 1980 was one of those events whose later reputation far exceeds the amount of attention it attracted at the time
