Judith Dupré (born in Providence, Rhode Island)〔(Brief autobiography at judithdupre.com )〕 is a writer, architectural historian, and public speaker. She is the author of several works of narrative nonfiction that explore the intersection of art, photography, and architecture. She has been described as “a scholar with a novelist’s eye for detail and a journalist’s easy style.” 〔(Strauss, Barry. “Carved in Stone: On Monuments: America's History in Art and Memory by Judith Dupré,” ''The New Criterion'', vol. 26, March, 2008, 69. )〕 Her books have been translated into eleven languages. The unusual shapes and bindings of her books echo their subject matter,〔Gonzalez, Susan. “Divinity Student’s Books Pay Homage to Architectural Marvels” Yale Bulletin & Calendar 36:27, April 25, 2008, 6.〕 and suggest the tradition and material presence of the illuminated book.〔Frederick M. Winship, "Churches Architecture is Subject of New Books," ''United Press International'', October 18, 2001.〕 ''Skyscrapers'' is 18” high.〔Lucie Young, "A Book Shaped Like Its Subject Matter,” ''The New York Times'', September 26, 1996, C3.〕 ''Bridges'' is a yard wide when open, to accommodate panoramic photos of the longest structures. The cover of ''Churches'' is split down the center so that it opens like the doors of a cathedral.〔Larry B. Stammer, “Houses of the Holy,” ''Los Angeles Times'', June 30, 2002, pp 8, 9.〕 The cover of ''Monuments: America’s History in Art and Memory'' is a replica, in raised relief, of ancient stones; its deeply incised title lettering was drawn for the book by Nicholas Benson.〔 Each page design includes deep-captioned photographs, floating quotations, and sidebar explorations.〔Patricia Dane Rogers, “Vertical Reality,” ''The Washington Post'', Nov. 7, 1996, 5.〕 The page layouts suggest a kinetic reading experience beyond the turning of successive pages, and have been designed to create individualized reading experiences, where the reader chooses how to engage the array of photographs, essays and marginal commentaries.〔(Prescott, Theodore. “Monuments: America’s History in Art and Memory,” ''American Arts Quarterly'', Summer 2008. )〕 Dupré was born into a family of architectural preservationists.〔 She received her undergraduate degree from Brown University in 1978 and did postgraduate work at Hunter College and the Open Atelier of Design and Architecture, both in New York City.〔 Dupre earned a M.Div. from (Yale Divinity School ) in 2011. She is a fellow of (Saybrook College ) at Yale University and a Dominique de Menil scholar at the (Institute of Sacred Music ), also at Yale. Dupré serves on the boards of the (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat’s Skyscraper Center Editorial Board ); (Project Rebirth ), which recorded the World Trade Center’s rebuilding with time-lapse photography from 2002 through 2014 and now creates programs that facilitate healing of those suffering from PTS; and (Faith & Form ), a journal of the American Institute of Architect’s (Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art and Architecture ). She has received awards and fellowships from Yale, New York State Council on the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.〔https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/07/28/new-funding-program-neh-hopes-bring-more-humanities-research-general-public〕 She has been named twice a Fellow of the (MacDowell Colony ), the oldest artists’ colony in the U.S. In 2004, the Westchester Arts Council awarded her the (Artists Award ), the county’s highest cultural honor, citing her as a “champion of the arts and literacy.” She has curated and consulted on numerous contemporary art exhibitions, including an installation of temporary refugee housing on Sterling Quad at Yale Divinity School in 2007.〔(Wang, Judy. “Div. School Displays Shelters,” ''Yale Daily News'', 31 January 2007. )〕 From 1979 through 1990,〔Kudra, Ireen E. “Bridges,” ''The New York Times'', December 7, 1997, 24.〕 she curated the Harry N. Abrams Art Collection, an important collection of pop art assembled by the art book publisher Harry Abrams. ==Publications== Dupré's major works include: * ''Skyscrapers'' (1996, Black Dog & Leventhal; ISBN 978-1-884822-45-2 / 2008, Black Dog & Leventhal; ISBN 1-57912-787-8/ 2013, Black Dog & Leventhal; ISBN 978-1-57912-942-2) * ''Bridges'' (1997).
