Biography
Ann C. Huppert is an architectural historian whose research and teaching address architecture, landscape, and urbanism in the early modern period, especially on the Italian peninsula and in the broader Mediterranean world.
She teaches broadly on the history of architecture including surveys of world architecture from antiquity to the early modern period. Recent seminar topics include Mediterranean Cities 1300-1600 and (Re)Building Rome 1400-1800. Her teaching engages questions of design transmission, cultural exchange especially in the pre-modern Islamic and Christian world, periodization and the definition of the Renaissance, and employs digital humanities tools.
Professor Huppert received an A.B. degree in Philosophy from Vassar College, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Architectural History from the University of Virginia. She held a two-year Kress Predoctoral Fellowship at the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome, and from 2003-5 was the Scott Opler Senior Research Fellow at Worcester College at the University of Oxford. She has received additional research support from the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the American Philosophical Society, and the Renaissance Society of America. She currently serves as a book review editor for the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians.
