PROJECT
His project aims to analyze medieval construction from the perspective of its production process.
The main objectives of the study are to: analyze techniques, the ancillary resources and the materials used through various case studies; develop a diachronic study by comparing the data obtained in order to establish a model for technological development in the Middle Ages; and develop an innovative methodology that allows the analysis of elements that today are lost and that may serve as a reference for future studies.
