Summer School

Topic
How do blocks make buildings, how do buildings make settlements, and how do
places transform over time? This one week intensive summer school aims to ans-
wer these questions though a hands-on investigation into stone architecture in
Roman Germany. The course offers a deep dive into the theories and methods of
architectural and urban studies. Participants will learn and practice different tech-
niques of architectural recording and structural analysis as well as participate in
broader discussions about urbanism, settlement, and space on the frontier.
Drawing on the resources of Akademie des Wissenschaft project disiecta membra,
this course will offer practical experience of recording architectural materials and
structures in Mainz. With the successful completion of the course, students have
the opportunity to participate in upcoming field projects in Great Britain and North
Macedonia.
