The first book, The Culture of Architecture in Enlightenment Rome (Pennsylvania State University Press, 2010), won the Howard Marraro Prize and the honorable mention for the Alice Davis Hitchcock Award from the Society of Architectural Historians. The second, Piranesi's Lost Words (Pennsylvania State University Press, 2015), examined Giovanni Battista Piranesi's famous printed images alongside the texts he designed to go with them.

Her newest book, Piranesi Unbound, co-authored with Carolyn Yerkes, was brought out in 2020 by Princeton University Press.
