Harriet Edquist AM FAHA is an Australian historian and curator, and Professor Emerita in the School of Architecture and Urban Design at RMIT University in Melbourne.
[1] Born and educated in Melbourne, she has published widely on and created numerous exhibitions in the field of Australian architecture, art and design history.
[5] Serving from 1987 to 1991, the partnership of Edquist and Karen Burns stretched the critical range of this publication, arguing - as they wrote in their editorial for Transition 38 - that architectural discourse could extend "the boundaries of discussion to include all the arts and observations on the society".
[8] She is currently a member (and was the past President from 2003 to 2005) of SAHANZ, the Society of Architectural Historians Australia and New Zealand.
[26][27] Edquist was awarded an Honorary Fellow at the Australian Institute of Architects in 2006, for services to architectural education and history.
