Peggy Deamer
Peggy Deamer (née: Margaret Deamer; born February 15, 1950) is an architect, architectural educator, and Emeritus Professor of Architecture at Yale University.[1] Her research explores the nature of creative work, stretching from a psychoanalytic interpretation of art production and reception – initiated in the dissertation on Adrian Stokes, who was analyzed by Melanie Klein – to neo-Marxist examinations of creative labor. She is the founding member of the international advocacy group, The Architecture Lobby (TAL).[2]
