Secretary
Bryan Clark Green is an architectural historian, historic preservationist, and educator whose work sits at the intersection of architecture and preservation. Through research and practice he investigates how buildings are modified over time, and how that modification impacts our understanding of architectural history. As Visiting Associate Professor of Practice in the School of Architecture at Virginia Tech, he teaches design studios and courses on historic preservation, adaptive reuse of historic buildings, and architectural history. Notable projects include the rehabilitation of Richmond’s Central National Bank into apartments; the conversion of the former Richmond Locomotive Works into the Movieland multiplex theater; and the adaptive reuse of the former Chesapeake & Chesapeake Railway Terminal into facilities for the VCU School of the Arts. He has produced historic structures reports on such landmarks as Bacon’s Castle in Surry County, Virginia; Robert Mills’ Monumental Church in Richmond, VA, James Renwick’s Fredericksburg Courthouse in Fredericksburg, VA, and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC.
Directors

Mantha Zarmakoupi is an architectural historian and classical archaeologist. She has published widely on Greek and Roman architecture and art—including the monographs Shaping Roman Landscape (Getty, 2023) and Designing for Luxury on the Bay of Naples (c. 100 BCE–79 CE) (Oxford University Press, 2014), edited volumes The Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum (De Gruyter, 2010) and Hermogenes and Hellenistic-Roman Temple Building in Greece and Asia Minor (University of Wisconsin Press, forthcoming)—as well as on the urban development and harbor infrastructure of late Hellenistic Delos. She currently conducts an archaeological project in collaboration with Ankara University at the Bouleuterion of Teos in Turkey. Mantha systematically fosters conversations across the fields of architecture and archaeology. For instance, her edited volume, Looking at the City (Melissa, 2023), tackles architectural and archaeological perspectives in the study of ancient cities, and her forthcoming edited volume with Simon Richards on Doxiadis and the Delos Symposia (1963–1975) addresses the intertwinement of ideas on ancient urbanism in 20th-century discussions on urbanism and ecology. Together with David Gissen and Jennifer Stager, they have developed the research installation An Archaeology of Disability that explores what it means to reconstruct lost elements of the Acropolis through the lens of human impairment.

Call for Bibliographic References to Expand "Women in Architecture Bibliography"
The SAH Women in ArchitectureAffiliate Group and SAH WiA AG Registers Committee invite submissions of bibliographic references, new or absent in the initial edition of the SAH Women in Architecture Bibliography. Contributors will be recognized in Acknowledgements. We invite references to expand: – The list of BOOKS authored/edited BY WOMEN, who are architectural and art historians, educators, curators, critics, other protagonists in our profession. – The list of BOOKS ABOUT WOMEN’s CONTRIBUTION to the built environment integrating works in broader diversity, border- and cross-disciplinary studies, covering various geographies, and areas relevant to understanding and teaching the subject. – The list of THESES ABOUT WOMEN’s CONTRIBUTION to the discipline. – The list of BOOKS/THESES, following the same logistics, published in languages other than English. NO DEADLINE! Subject Line: WiA Bibliography 2023; Format: Word doc. / Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition The SAH Women in Architecture Bibliography is a comprehensive project in-progress of the SAH Women in Architecture Affiliate Group, a groundbreaking effort to document and recognize the essential role women have played in the creation of the built environment, from practicing architects, urban, landscape, and interior designers, to artists and craftsmen, to the many scholars who have informed, advocated, and educated through their publications, exhibitions, and numerous public and private programs around women in architecture. While there have been bibliographies and collections developed on the topic, no effort has been made to organize a major inclusive database of books and theses about the contribution of women to the built environment. These efforts of the SAH Women in Architecture Affiliate Group have just launched, and the initial open e-access edition containing c. 1,100 titles has been published online in July and in August 2021. The Society of Architectural Historians and the SAH WiA AG are committed to creating the bibliography that will lead current and future generations of professionals to the core literature of inclusive, powerful writings by and about women in the integral field of architecture.

Ann C. Huppert is associate professor of architectural history in the Department of Architecture at the University of Washington. Her research and teaching address architecture, landscape, and urbanism in the early modern period, especially on the Italian peninsula and the Mediterranean world. Her current book project, Building Knowledge: The Culture of Construction in Sixteenth-Century Rome, redefines architectural authorship by examining the contributions of builders, craftsmen, and artisans along with those identified as architects, and charts the exchange of knowledge on worksites across the city. She also is collaborating on a comprehensive construction history of the Roman Church of Il Gesù with Pamela O. Long. She is the author of Becoming an Architect in Renaissance Italy: Art, Science, and the Career of Baldassarre Peruzzi (Yale University Press, 2015), which explores Peruzzi’s mathematical aptitude, representational skills, and the influence of antiquity on his designs through the lens of period drawings. She received her doctorate in architectural history from the University of Virginia and has held fellowships at the Bibliotheca Hertziana, Rome, and at Worcester College, Oxford. Her research has received support from the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts at the National Gallery of Art, the American Philosophical Society, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, and the Renaissance Society of America.

Mantha Zarmakoupi is an architectural historian and classical archaeologist. She has published widely on Greek and Roman architecture and art—including the monographs Shaping Roman Landscape (Getty, 2023) and Designing for Luxury on the Bay of Naples (c. 100 BCE–79 CE) (Oxford University Press, 2014), edited volumes The Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum (De Gruyter, 2010) and Hermogenes and Hellenistic-Roman Temple Building in Greece and Asia Minor (University of Wisconsin Press, forthcoming)—as well as on the urban development and harbor infrastructure of late Hellenistic Delos. She currently conducts an archaeological project in collaboration with Ankara University at the Bouleuterion of Teos in Turkey. Mantha systematically fosters conversations across the fields of architecture and archaeology. For instance, her edited volume, Looking at the City (Melissa, 2023), tackles architectural and archaeological perspectives in the study of ancient cities, and her forthcoming edited volume with Simon Richards on Doxiadis and the Delos Symposia (1963–1975) addresses the intertwinement of ideas on ancient urbanism in 20th-century discussions on urbanism and ecology. Together with David Gissen and Jennifer Stager, they have developed the research installation An Archaeology of Disability that explores what it means to reconstruct lost elements of the Acropolis through the lens of human impairment.
