In Mary Sturgeon’s UNC grad course on Hellenistic architecture 🏛️, I wrote on the reception of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus in Late Antiquity. So seeing this new vol. is exciting (& 50x better than my grad essay—especially love the Crusader Castle portions). We do love the reception of a wonder #OA

"Venetian palace"? Lol, it's St. Mark's. "This record was created from historic documentation and may not have been reviewed by a curator; it may be inaccurate or incomplete." Which is totally understandable for objects catalogued a century ago, but this was accessioned in *2011*!

A genuine request to all our followers: 1. Do you think that there is any point in keeping collections of manufactured building materials such as bricks, pipes, tiles etc? 2. From the point of view of future historic research, would photos suffice or should the physical items be kept too? 3. Why?
Currently an exhibition on *bricks* at one member institution, the Gewerbemuseum Winterthur. 3/3 gewerbemuseum.ch/en/ausstellu...
“Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together,” as architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe aptly put it. So do bricks – those familiar, often under-appreciated and apparently banal objects – really have enough to offer for an entire exhibition?gewerbemuseum.chTheir website is unfortunately only in German, but here are some descriptions in English from network member institutions. The materials represent several fields including (but not only) architecture and construction. 2/3 www.zhdk.ch/en/miz/1387/... library.ethz.ch/en/about-us-...
Material Archive | ZHdK.chCollection and database of numerous materials, including samples of the materials that can be experienced, compared and investigated with all senses.www.zhdk.chKeep samples! Important for scholars & folks in preservation to have physical examples of materials for comparison and identification now & in the future.
