Building Practices and Historical Context in Augustan Columbarium Tombs / Dorian Borbonus -- Two Terracotta Vaulting Elements: Tracing Technology Transfer in the Western Mediterranean, 3rd c. B.C.E.-2nd c. C.E. / Lynne C. Lancaster -- Creating 'Hanging Gardens' / Ulrike Wulf-Rheidt.
Summary: "This multiauthor volume brings together thirteen chapters examining various aspects of structure and construction in the monuments of ancient Greece and Rome. Taken together they represent the international state of Bauforschung, the scientific, analytical, and often archaeological study of historic buildings. The chapters cover a variety of topics, such as construction processes, design principles, building traditions, and historical contexts. This range showcases the different technical and historical methodologies that are brought to bear on the Classical architecture of the ancient Mediterranean. At the same time, there is considerable overlap, which demonstrates that different approaches are bound together by the common aim to reconstruct historic built environments, the empirical nature of the undertaking, and the combination of visual and verbal argumentation. Bauforschung, Architectural history, Greece, Rome, Classical architecture, Historic buildings"-- Provided by publisher.
