Williams is an American architect 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. 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 sixth edition of which, Nexus 2006, will
take place in Genoa, Italy. 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 for books about architecture and mathematics.
Kim has published many articles in scholarly journals on the use of mathematical principles in architecture, including Mathematical Intelligencer and Leonardo. Her drawings have been displayed in both group and solo exhibits. She has participated in numerous international conferences, and regularly lectures on architecture and mathematics. Her latest book is The Villas of Palladio (New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2003).
