Professor Armpriest's teaching and research
interests include the pedagogy of architectural building construction
technology, and the expression of structure and materials in
northwest regional architecture.
She recently coauthored a new text, Building Construction: Principles, Materials
and Systems, which has been adopted for use
in over 80 programs of Architecture or Construction Managment in
North America. Before
joining the architecture faculty at the University of Idaho in 2001, she worked
as an architectural project manager in Eugene, Oregon. While pursuing her M.Arch
at the University of Oregon, she also worked as a project developer
and construction manager for neighborhood non-profit housing providers.
Prior to that, she was associate professor of landscape architecture
at the University of Cincinnati. Highlights of her work there include
research in resource-efficient design and construction, and working
with students on design-build projects.
On a more personal note, Diane never met a building
or construction site from which she couldn’t learn, continues
to hone her skills on a never-ending string of personal construction
projects, and strives to pass along this enthusiasm for materials,
design and construction to her students.
