[4] Hemsoll is currently the Deputy Editor of the peer-reviewed journal Architectural History[5] in addition to his appointment as a visiting professor at I Tatti, the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies.
[7] With Paul Davies and Mark Wilson Jones, Hemsoll suggests that the Pantheon "was intended to have a taller portico with a gabled roof" when first designed.
[8] His 2019 work Emulating Antiquity considers how designers and architects of the Italian Renaissance gave new meaning to their Classical influences.
[9] Hemsoll analyses work by architects including Filippo Brunelleschi, Donato Bramante, Michelozzo, Leon Battista Alberti, and Michelangelo, to propose that rather than straightforwardly recreating Classical forms in their designs, each architect responded to and developed new architectural ideas that accounted for political and ecclesiastical tastes, and the demands of patrons, and thus that they reinvented rather than copied antique models.
[9] Hemsoll provided the introduction to the 2018 J. Paul Getty Museum edition of Georgio Vasari's sixteenth-century The Life of Michelangelo.
