Накратко на български

Строителните и инженерни техники във вилата на император Адриан в Италия се анализират чрез разглеждане на сградите като технически продукти. Това помага за разбирането на развитието на строителната наука и стандартите в архитектурата на Римската империя.

Construction techniques, experimentation and innovative architectural solutions atHadrian’s Villa (Tivoli, Italy)

The aim of this project was to investigate the building and engineering techniques utilized in constructing Hadrian’s Villa (Tivoli, Italy), the most luxurious and best preserved of the imperial villas in the hinterland of Rome, built as a government retreat during the reign of the emperor Hadrian (AD 117-138). The bibliography on the Hadrian's Villa is extensive. One thing was missing: a synthesis combining analysis of the buildings with a critical study of the bibliography that would present a comprehensive corpus of the building solutions found in the different structures across the entire site. This corpus is the study I am pubblishing. My research approach is based on seeing the building as an engineering product in a continuous process of change that, owing to its origins and survival, is subject to static and dynamic rules as well as to the human and material factor that must be calculated in the study of any ancient building. Hadrian’s Villa is perfect for a study of this kind because it both attests creative experimentation of a high level in the context of high imperial Roman architecture and it is also so well preserved and studied. Outputs are demonstrated in terms of the design implications expressed in ancient architecture, and the evolution of Hadrianic construction standards. Specific architectural building types emerging as central to the overall development and application of construction science have been analysed in terms of efficiency, innovation and impact. The work is placed in the context of concurrent applied research in building science and its mid-imperial incorporation into architectural education and practice. The right knowledge of ancient structures has a profound importance for today's society, both in terms of memory and knowledge of effective construction techniques, moreover the study carried out is also be of relevance to research in building science applied to restoration. The graphical representation of the construction processes of the archaeological complex show an image of the construction site, the workers at work, building systems and implementation phases of the prestigious Hadrian’s residence, transmitting knowledge of the subject to the general public. Utility of collected data is maximised by ensuring that the data is accurate, of a high resolution, and that methods of capture are clearly documented and replicable. This database will be useful also for local institutions for any activities related to the preservation and use of the monument. The project results are important and innovative for two reasons: to create a corpus of construction solutions about an archaeological site that represents a synthesis of experimentation in architecture; to understand how Hadrian’s Villa served as a kind of laboratory for architectural experiments which could be deployed on a massive scale across the entire empire.

Цел на проекта

The aim of this Fellowship is to develop the professional prowess, advanced training, interdisciplinary skills, high-impact dissemination, and practical experience commensurate with a leading independent researcher in the EU. The aim of the project is to investigate the building and engineering techniques utilized in constructing Hadrian’s Villa. For the first time, I will apply a new research approach to a comprehensive study of the villa that concentrates not only on architectural design and form but also on building materials, construction techniques and engineering. The main objective is to create a synthesis combining analysis of the buildings with a critical study of the bibliography that will result in a comprehensive corpus of the building solutions found in the different structures across the entire site. I will be based in the Department of Classics in Trinity College Dublin (TCD), working under the supervision of Professor Hazel Dodge. Research training will be implemented through an interdisciplinary project investigating the ancient architectural process of construction. I will access expertise, advanced training and mentoring in the History of architecture. No Irish university, but Professor Dodge, has yet established a dedicated History of the roman architecture. In TCD I will be given the opportunity to embed new knowledge in the design of interdisciplinary curricula for graduate students. Under the guidance of international experts, I will acquire an invaluable skill-set bridging humanities, science and technology with implications for contemporary conservation of cultural heritage. The resources of the host departments will facilitate development of an interdisciplinary and international academic network as well as career-mentoring. The Fellowship will establish me firmly at the centre of interdisciplinary research in the histories of building science.
