Coomans de Brachène Thomas (coordinator) | Coomans de Brachène Thomas | Patrício Teresa Aims
The students acquire skills in building archaeology, specifically in 'reading' historic structures and materials such as masonry, stonework, brickwork and roof structures, and learn to interpret their observations with a view to establishing the chronology of a historic building and its successive phases of change.
Previous knowledge
Knowledge of architectural history.

Format: more information
Detailed survey of an architectural element of a historic building, with introduction to manual recording techniques and building archaeology. By sketching, measuring and drawing an element in detail (of a wall, roof structure, staircase, window etc), students learn to observe attentively a part of a building to get a full understanding of its construction and building history. Team work in pairs.
