# Rivka Oxman

Rivka Oxman (hebreu: רבקה אוקסמן‎ , 1950) és una arquitecta i investigadora israeliana. Professora del Technion-Institut Tecnològic d'Israel- a Haifa, el seu camp de recerca està relacionat amb el disseny i la computació, inclosos l'arquitectura i els mètodes digitals, i l'exploració de la seva contribució a l'aparició de nous paradigmes de disseny i pràctica arquitectònics.

## Biografia

Oxman va anar a l'Escola Reali Hebrea (Hebrew Reali School) de Haifa fins a l'any 1966. Es va graduar en l'Institut de Tecnologia Technion - Israel, on després es va convertir en professora de la Facultat d'Arquitectura i Urbanisme. Ha estat professora visitant a la Universitat Stanford i de la Universitat Tècnica de Delft i ha realitzat estades en el MIT i a Berkeley. Ha treballat a la Universitat de Sídney i a la Universitat de Kaiserslautern. L'any 1975 es va casar amb el seu company, l'arquitecte Robert Oxman, i tenen dues filles, Neri i Keren.
L'any 2006 es va convertir en consellera de DRS, Design Research Society, una societat de recerca sobre el disseny. És editora associada de la revista Design Studies, i membre del consell editorial d'altres revistes sobre teoria del disseny i disseny digital. L'any 2010, ella i la seva parella coeditaren un nombre especial de la revista Architectural Design amb el títol de “New Structuralism" i aquesta llegenda: "la convergència del nou disseny, l'enginyeria i la tecnologia arquitectònica cap a una nova manera de sintetitzar materials i crear espais". L'any 2014 van editar el llibre Teories del digital en arquitectura, una descripció general del camp amb capítols de dotzenes de col·laboradors.
