Maristella Casciato, former associate director of research at the Canadian Centre for Architecture and expert on 20th century European architecture, has been named the Getty Research Institute’s new Senior Curator of Architectural Collections.

“Maristella Casciato is an exceptionally accomplished scholar.  Her wide-ranging interests such as recent in-depth research into architecture of postcolonial India and non-Western contributions to city planning will provide fertile fields of study that will dovetail with many ongoing research projects at the Getty,” added Chief Curator Marcia Reed.
