The highly application-oriented course "Experimental Research in Building Archaeology" deals with changing topics in the field of History of Architecture, the main focus here is on questions about material and construction techniques. The why and the how, the implementation of the design specifications, the construction sequences, the construction site logistics as well as the different construction techniques and the manufacturing processes of certain building materials will be analysed.
"Experimental Research in Building Archaeology" means teaching and research!
Still unexplained questions in construction history as well as (supposedly) incomprehensible construction techniques and construction processes are under scrutiny. The course is a real exercise, i.e. the students will work on-site, too, will experiment with authentic building materials or in experimental conditions.
Building Techniques of Roman Antiquity
In the WS 2017/18, the course "Experimental Building Archaeology" focuses on stone working techniques in Roman antiquity. In particular, the building materials tuff and marble as well as the possibilities and limits of working with antique stone saws are examined in detail.
