Abajo se puede ver, en inglés, el currículum breve de Robert Jan van Pelt.
Robert Jan van Pelt has taught at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture since 1987, and held appointments at many institutions of higher education in Europe, Asia and North America, including the Architectural Association in London, the Technical University in Vienna, the University of Virginia, and MIT. He has published thirteen books dealing with diverse topics such as the cosmic speculations on the Temple of Solomon, relativism in architectural history, the history of Auschwitz, the history of the Holocaust, Jewish refugees, and Holocaust denial. At this time he is writing a book on the history of the concentration camp barrack. An internationally recognized authority on the history of Auschwitz, van Pelt’s work was featured in a BBC-Horizon programme (1994) and he acted as a senior consultant to the six-part BBC/PBS series Auschwitz: Inside the Nazi State (2005). Van Pelt chaired the team that developed a master plan for the preservation of Auschwitz (1997). Because of his expertise on the construction of the gas chambers and the crematoria, van Pelt has been involved in the struggle against Holocaust denial, which focuses on the forensic interpretation of the architectural evidence of Auschwitz. He appeared in Errol Morris’s film on the holocaust denier Fred A. Leuchter, Mr. Death (1999) and served as an expert witness for the defense in the notorious libel case Irving vs. Penguin and Lipstadt (1998-2001). His character appears in the Hollywood movie “Denial” (2016). His forensic work on Auschwitz is embodied in the Venice Architecture Biennale exhibit “The Evidence Room,” made by a team of faculty and students of Waterloo Architecture (2016).
