Research
Ann Huppert is an architectural historian specializing in Italian Renaissance architecture. She is currently completing a book on the sixteenth-century painter and architect, Baldassarre Peruzzi, which examines the role of drawing in his design practice and the implications of the dramatic shift during the Renaissance from oral to graphic transmission of design ideas.
She has held fellowships at Worcester College, Oxford, and the Bibliotheca Hertziana, Rome. Recent publications and current projects focus on the history and development of representational techniques, the mapping of Rome and the origins of modern cartography, Renaissance archaeological investigation, architectural training and education, and quantification and practical mathematics in Renaissance Italy.
