Ancient Blueprints: New Prospects and Interpretations in Light of Recent Discoveries
Résumé
New Directions and Paradigms for the Study of Greek Architecture comprises 20 chapters by nearly three dozen scholars who describe recent discoveries, new theoretical frameworks, and applications of cutting-edge techniques in their architectural research. The contributions are united by several broad themes that represent the current directions of study in the field, i.e.: the organization and techniques used by ancient Greek builders and designers; the use and life history of Greek monuments over time; the communication of ancient monuments with their intended audiences together with their reception by later viewers; the mining of large sets of architectural data for socioeconomic inference; and the recreation and simulation of audiovisual experiences of ancient monuments and sites by means of digital technologies. PHILIP SAPIRSTEIN, Ph.D. (2008), Cornell University, is Assistant Professor of Art History at the University of Toronto. He has published on Greek architecture, architectural terracottas, ancient artisans, and digital technologies for the study of antiquity. DAVID SCAHILL, Ph.D. (2012), University of Bath, lectures on ancient Greek architecture at the University of Athens. He has published on design and construction principles and conducts fieldwork at archaeological projects around the Mediterranean.
