Description

AVISTA's two connected sessions addressing STONE: New Research Concerning Masons and Sculptors bring together new projects concerning the makers of architecture and sculpture during a critical period of the Middle Ages. Papers will demonstrate the use of innovative approaches, software, detailed and immersive photography, and disparate approaches as they bring to life scholars' discussions of buildings, sculpture, sites, materials, geology, transportation of materials, workshop practices, tools and methodology. Sites under analysis are located in Spain, France, and Italy.
