Reviews
"This book is an American-German attempt to emphasize the potential of Bauforschung, the methodical analysis of buildings, by showcasing what it has to offer." -- Shelley Hales, Greece & Rome Vol. 70.2"The volume will be a valuable tool for teachers and students of Greek and Roman architecture. Readers will gain a clear understanding of how the world of architects, designers and builders was not separated from that of the patrons who sponsored the projects and of the users who experienced the buildings, and that all of these were the product of historical and cultural circumstances." -- The Classical Review, "This book is an American-German attempt to emphasize the potential of Bauforschung, the methodical analysis of buildings, by showcasing what it has to offer." -- Shelley Hales, Greece & Rome Vol. 70.2

Synopsis
This volume presents 13 case studies that examine structures from the ancient Greek and Roman world using the methodology known as 'Bauforschung.' This inductive method uses closely documented structural aspects to answer questions related to construction processes, design theory, building traditions, and historical contexts., This multiauthor volume presents thirteen case studies that showcase the scientific, analytical, and often archaeological study of historic buildings that is known in German as Bauforschung. Written by established and emerging experts in this field, the chapters focus on the architecture of the Classical world and cover a wide variety of topics, such as construction processes, design principles, building traditions, and historical contexts. Despite this diversity, there is a common thread, since all contributors perceive architecture not as piles of dead matter, or as mere bearers of decoration and sculpture, but as dynamic organisms--bodies full of inner tension to defy gravity. Thus, they pursue the common goal to situate architecture in its historical contexts by documenting, reconstructing, and visualizing the structures as well as their spatial settings, technical underpinnings, and ideological symbolism. Throughout this volume, ancient buildings are considered historic documents in their own right, reflecting both the efforts of their designers and builders, as well as the aspirations of their patrons and communities. The collection represents a wide cross-section of approaches brought to bear on ancient Greek and Roman architecture and, thus, serves as an English-language introduction to the technical and historical questions, and the methodologies inherent in Bauforschung., This multiauthor volume presents thirteen case studies that showcase the scientific, analytical, and often archaeological study of historic buildings that is known in German as Bauforschung .
