SIDELIGHTS
Ann C. Huppert earned an A.B. in philosophy from Vassar College and both a master’s degree and Ph.D. in architectural history from the University of Virginia. At the University of Virginia, she worked as a teaching assistant in the Department of Architectural History and Summer Program in Vicenza, Italy. From 1999 to 2001, Huppert was an instructor in the School of Architecture at Syracuse University before taking a position for a year at Ohio State University as visiting assistant professor in the Department of History of Art. Moving on to the University of Oxford, she spent two years as the Scott Opler Senior Research Fellow at Worcester College. At the University of Kansas, she was assistant professor in the School of Architecture and Urban Planning and in the Department of Art History. In 2009 Huppert became visiting assistant professor at the University of Washington. She has continued to teach at the University of Washington, moving up to the position of associate professor in the Department of Architecture.
The focus of Huppert’s research and teaching is urbanism, drawing, and the architecture and art of the Renaissance. She also teaches survey courses in the architecture of the ancient world, medieval and Renaissance architecture, and appreciation of architecture. She has earned numerous grants, awards, and fellowships to conduct her studies and has presented papers at conferences in the United States and Europe. She has also contributed chapters to scholarly books and journals on architecture.
In 2015 Huppert published Becoming an Architect in Renaissance Italy: Art, Science, and the Career of Baldassarre Peruzzi, an in-depth examination of the drawings of the eminent Italian Renaissance architect and painter Peruzzi. Few of his buildings survive, and there is little known about his biography. As her main resource, Huppert uses a large number of Peruzzi’s autograph drawings. She examines Peruzzi’s mathematical ability and his proficiency in perspective and discusses the influence of antiquity on his architectural designs. C.W. Westfall, reviewing the book for Choice, commended the “lucid and authoritative text,” going on to state that it “vastly expands on knowledge of the period’s building culture by planting Peruzzi squarely among the giants of High Renaissance Rome.” Westfall recommended the monograph for upper-level graduate students and higher. Niall Atkinson, contributor to Critical Inquiry, called Huppert’s book a “meticulous analysis and extremely incisive interpretation of the Italian Renaissance architect.” Drawing attention to the book’s images, Atkinson noted that the “reader” had also to become a “viewer” in analyzing the “dense drawings” that accompany Huppert’s analysis. The book is “full of graphic, textual, and numeric information.” Comparing the arguments to the evidence of the images “is often hard work for those not nearly as adept in analyzing drawings.” Finding the connections, Atkinson remarked, “is a small triumph.”

Ann Huppert
Associate Professor
Ann C. Huppert offers classes on architectural history, focusing particularly on urbanism, drawing and the architecture and art of the Renaissance. Recent courses have included the Drawing and the Design Professions, (Re)Building Rome 1400-1800, Architecture of Mediterranean Cities, 1300-1600, Drawing and Artistic Process in the Italian Renaissance (Department of Art History), and Italian Renaissance Art (Department of Art History). She also teaches survey courses including Architecture of the Ancient World, Medieval and Renaissance Architecture, and Appreciation of Architecture I. Professor Huppert received an B.A. in Philosophy from Vassar College, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Architectural History from the University of Virginia. Before joining the faculty at the University of Washington, she taught in the architecture and art history departments at the University of Kansas, the Ohio State University and Syracuse University. She has been a fellow at Worcester College in Oxford and at the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome, and has received additional fellowships from the American Philosophical Society and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. Professor Huppert's book, Becoming an Architect in Renaissance Italy: Art, Science, and the Career of Baldassarre Peruzzi, (Yale University Press, 2015) investigates the close connections between the figural arts and architecture in the early sixteenth century through the lens of a remarkably large group of period drawings. Among the topics the book explores are the close connection of Peruzzi’s mathematical aptitude with his skill in perspective, and the influence of antiquity on his designs. Other publications have examined the role of perspectival drawings in the building workshop and designs for new St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican, in the Journal of Architectural Historians, and Renaissance practices of mapping ancient Rome, in Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome. Recently published book chapters include “Practical Mathematics in the Drawings of Baldassarre Peruzzi and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger,” “Giorgio Vasari and the Art of Siena,” and “Material Matters: Training the Renaissance Architect.” She has presented her research at numerous academic conferences in the United States and in Europe.

This major monograph rescues the many contributions of a very important but incompletely known architect. The author's lucid and authoritative
text, which includes 165 illustrations, many in color, recovers his biography and refrains from recapitulating well-known material, but presents
extensive material about his neglected buildings in Siena and Bologna and as an engineer. Most importantly, Huppert (Univ. of Washington)
vastly expands on knowledge of the period's building culture by planting Peruzzi squarely among the giants of High Renaissance Rome. Most
impressive is her insightful and convincing analysis of the large mass of his surviving drawings, primarily of ancient buildings. She uncovers his
inventive drawing techniques for understanding ancient Roman construction, for addressing new construction problems, for depicting the threedimensionality
of buildings, and for exploring options in new construction. She develops the role of his command of the period's advanced
mathematics, discusses his role in educating other architects, and points to his new graphic techniques in the treatises of others. Trained as a
painter, readers learn how he connected the painter's art to the architect's and the spatial content of his major frescoes. Notes, bibliography, index,
and sturdy binding complete this admirable book. Summing Up: ** Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.--C. W. Westfall,
University of Notre Dame
