Kevin Christopher Lippert (January 20, 1959 – March 29, 2022) was an American book publisher.
He received permission from Princeton librarians to copy books, the first being Recueil et Parallèle des Edifices de Tout Genre by French architect Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand published in 1800.
In 1997, Lippert sold Springer Verlag, the owner of the architectural publisher Birkhauser, a share of the company.
[3] Lippert was central in publishing Steven Holl’s 1989 manifesto Anchoring, which is considered one of the “fundamental design texts of the past half-century”.
