After successful completion of the course, students are able to apply available methods of building analysis onto a specific object. They are capable to differenciate possibilities and limitations of specific tools and to select adequate methods of documentation for the task.
As part of our building documentation there will be a special focus on structural details such as various types of masonry, construction with "roman concrete" (opus caementitium) as well as construction site logistics of antiquity. Building analysis will then consider relevant facts of architectural history concerning topics like "building- and functional typologies", "sepulcral architecture" (necropolis, mausoleum, catacomb), "live and death along the Via Appia" and much more.
lectures concerning basic problems of building archeology, available methods and tools for analysis as well as about possible continuative use of results from building research.
