Kim Williams is a writer and editor living and working in Italy. She received her degree in Architectural Studies from the University of Texas in Austin, and is licensed as an architect in New York State. Her apprenticeship was done in the officesof Philip Johnson in New York. She became interested in mathematics and architecture while writing Italian Pavements: Patterns in Space (Houston: Anchorage Press, 1997) about the role of decorated pavements in the history of Italian architecture. In 1996 she began the international conference series "Nexus: Architecture and Mathematics", the fourteenth edition of which will take place in Torino, Italy, in June 2023. In 1999 she founded the Nexus Network Journal to provide a dedicated venue for scholarly research in architecture and mathematics. In 2000 she founded Kim Williams Books, an independent press. Kim has published many articles in scholarly journals on the use of mathematical principles in architecture, including The Mathematical Intelligencer and Leonardo. Her drawings have been displayed in both group and solo exhibits. She has participated in numerous international conferences. She co-edited, with Michael Ostwald, the 2-volume Architecture and Mathematics from Antiquity tothe Future (Birkhäuser, 2015). She is editor for Springer of the book series "Mathematics and the Built Environment". Her latest books are Daniele Barbaro's Vitruvius of 1567 (Springer, 2019) and Daniele Barbaro's Perspective of 1568 (Springer, 2021).

Cosimo Monteleone是Padova大學的建築幾何學和建築表達副教授。他於2003年在威尼斯IUAV大學獲得建築學學位，並於2010年在“建築組成課程中的建築和景觀測量與表達”領域獲得博士學位，論文研究對象是法蘭克·勞埃德·賴特的古根漢姆博物館。他的研究重點包括建築、城市和景觀測量；建築和城市的3D建模；擴增和虛擬現實；日晷學；科學和技術應用於藝術和建築；表達的歷史，特別關注文藝復興透視。他是“視覺化城市”國際研究項目的成員，該項目致力於分析和表達歷史、城市和建築的變革。他是國家技術UNI - UNI / CT 047 / GL 03（建築和設施的技術繪圖）的成員。他在研究主題上發表了多篇論文，參加了會議，發表了演講，並為國內外展覽指導了數字裝置。他的出版物包括《法蘭克·勞埃德·賴特。古根漢姆博物館中的幾何學和抽象》（羅馬：Aracne 2013）。他是《Nexus Network Journal》的編輯委員會成員，並在該期刊上發表了兩篇論文：“帕拉第奧時期的透視及其科學遺產”（與Andrea Giordano合著）和“Daniele Barbaro的透視”（2019）。他最新的著作是《Daniele Barbaro的透視。批判性筆記和手稿It. IV, 39=5446》（Aracne, 2020）和《Daniele Barbaro的1568年透視》（Springer, 2021）。
