Since 2009 full Professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, where she leads the research group Landscape Architecture and Urbanism. Her research focuses on 20th-century urban landscapes and open spaces, exploring their historical formation, cultural significance, and ongoing transformation. Bridging design practice and the humanities, she examines how modern landscapes—especially post-industrial, and welfare-state environments—can be preserved, adapted, and regenerated as key resources for future urban development. Alongside her academic work, she is actively engaged in contemporary landscape architecture and urban development practice, participating both as a competition team member and as a jury member in national and international contexts. She has published widely, including Beauty Redeemed: Recycling Post-Industrial Landscapes (2015); the Routledge Research Companion to Landscape Architecture (2018, co-edited with Steiner); Den Grønne Kulturarv (2019); Urban Planning in the Nordic World (2022); and Architecture and Welfare: Scandinavian Perspectives (2025, co-edited with Arrhenius and Ruud).

Department Chair and Professor of the History of Art and Architecture at Brown University. Her research focuses on the relationship between political ideologies and the built environment in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Anglo-Caribbean, and Central Europe between 1750 and 1950. She is the author of Africa’s Buildings: Architecture and the Displacement of Cultural Heritage (Princeton University, 2025) and Colonialism and Modern Architecture in Germany(Pittsburgh, 2017); editor of German Colonialism in Africa and its Legacies: Architecture, Art, Urbanism, and Visual Culture (Bloomsbury, 2023); and co-editor of Routledge Companion to Critical Approaches in Race and Architecture (Bloomsbury, 2025). The winner of the 2020 Schelling Foundation Prize for Architectural Theory, Osayimwese’s research has been funded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation, Canadian Center for Architecture, Gerda Henkel Foundation, Graham Foundation for the Fine Arts, and National Endowment for the Humanities, among others. Her current research explores Western expropriation of Africa's architectural heritage; the problem of translation in the historiography of African architecture; and migration, property, and emancipation in the Anglo-Caribbean. Osayimwese received a Ph.D. in the history and theory of architecture from The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
