Valentina Rozas-Krause is interested in the History of Architecture and Urbanism, Memorials and Monuments, Cultural Memory, Theories of Urban Design and Planning, Landscape Design and Cultural Geography. Her dissertation research focuses on the representation of memories of twentieth century traumas in public urban space in Argentina, Germany and the United States. ​She studies ​monuments on two levels: as an emerging global practice of memorialization and as places for everyday life. Valentina grew up in Berlin and Santiago.

Valentina Rozas-Krause is a PhD candidate in Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley. She is an architect with a Master’s Degree in Urban Planning from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.  In 2008, she was awarded first place in a public competition to design “Memorial Patio 29,” which was inaugurated in 2010. Her project to transform Chile's National Stadium into a public park, designed with Teodoro Fernandez Architects, was awarded first place in the “Parque de la Ciudadanía” competition (2011). Valentina has published two books. The first, Ni Tan Elefante, Ni Tan Blanco, is an urban, architectural and political history of the National Stadium in Chile (Ril, 2014). The second is the co-edited volume Disputar la Ciudad (Bifurcaciones, 2018) which deals with spatial strategies of oppression, resistance, memory and reparation within varying urban contexts. These join peer-reviewed articles in History & Memory, Latin American Perspectives, Anos 90, ARQ, Revista 180, Cuadernos de Antropología Social, and Bifurcaciones alongside a chapter in the forthcoming edited volume Neocolonialism and Built Heritage (Routledge, 2020). She recently received the Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Completion Fellowship for 2019-2020 to complete her dissertation "Memorials and the Cult of Apology."
