Bio/Research

Carolyn Yerkes specializes in Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Focusing on European buildings from the 15th through 18th centuries, much of her latest research investigates relationships between architectural theory and techniques of architectural representation. Her book manuscript, awarded the James Ackerman Prize in the History of Architecture, examines the 16th- and 17th-century functions of a crucial but neglected corpus of Renaissance architectural drawings. It offers a new analysis of the role and function of networks and copies of drawings during the period.
