G.R.H. Wright studied history, law and architecture. He taught at the University of Munich and spent a lifetime recording and restoring monuments throughout the Mediterranean, the Middle East, East Africa and Southern India. His many publications include equally works on the History of Architecture and on the History of Religion, as also technical accounts of restoration projects.
Descriere
The
wealth
of
excavation
of
ancient
buildings
in
the
past
50
years
and
the
resulting
flood
of
publications
has
created
a
demand
for
a
survey
of
building
practice
in
antiquity.
This
two-volume
work
deals
with
the
techniques
of
setting
together
the
fabric
of
ancient
buildings:
the
manual
and
mechanical
operations
involved;
the
materials,
tools
and
equipment
used.
"Ancient"
here
means
from
very
first
beginnings
(origins)
to
the
end
of
Late
Antiquity
(i.e.
about
600
A.D.);
as
manifested
geographically
in
the
Old
World
of
Europe
and
the
Middle
East
(not
sub-Saharan
Africa,
Further
Asia,
the
Far
East
or
New
World).
Building
(the
product
and
the
process)
is
limited
to
architectural
building
and
looks
at
the
technology
of
civil
engineering
only
where
it
introduces
novelties.
Technology
here
means
the
system
of
techniques
used
in
the
process
of
building
construction
rather
than
the
science
or
theory
of
building.
The 10 chapters of this first volume are intended to give a general perspective of animal building in the light of evolutionary biology, then of building in the Palaeolithic, Neolithic, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Levanto-Aegean, Achaemenid, Greek, Roman, Late Antique -Early Christian / Byzantine / Sassanian contexts (with a weighting towards the lesser known prehistoric beginnings and late antique end). The second volume will focus on the technical details: materials of construction, structural systems, principles of construction and forms of construction.
