Description
The lecture series is taught in English and open to all incoming exchange students.
The lecture series Building Archaeology introduces participants to the wide range of topics, methods and problems covered by historic building research as a special discipline of architecture.
Compact lectures and practical workshops will showcase not only the research, analysis, documentation and decryption of complex historic buildings, but also ways of conserving and using them in practice. Students can put their newly gained knowledge of analysis and both analogue and digital methods of building recording to the test in a practical on-site workshop and a short field trip or guided city walks at the end of the seminar.
