Ekaterina Prozorova is a PhD candidate in architectural history and theory. Her research investigates Alexander Klein’s concept of organic planning—a method for organizing architectural space and urban form—across three political contexts: the Russian Empire, Weimar Germany, and Mandatory Palestine. By exploring how Klein merged architectural precedent, quantifiable data, and lived experience, her work traces the intellectual prehistory of architectural computation. It shows how Klein’s diagrammatic methods and rule-based, stepwise design anticipated algorithmic programming and parametric logics. This research highlights the reciprocal relationship between architectural form and political modernist agendas. By critically reframing urban histories, the study uncovers the enduring relevance of modernist design strategies within the architecture of the digital age.
