Description

In this second of AVISTA's two connected sessions addressing STONE: New Research Concerning Masons and Sculptors that bring together new projects concerning the makers of architecture and sculpture, speakers will function as panel to demonstrate the atmosphere of the ALL THINGS STONE colloquia. Papers will demonstrate the innovative use of software, detailed photography, and discursive approaches as they bring to life scholars' discussions of buildings, sculpture, materials, geology, transportation of stone, workshop practices, tools and landscape disturbance history. Sites under analysis are located in Spain and France.
