Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This volume contains various studies that range from prehistoric Greek buildingprogrammes to building in the Roman period. The economic growth of modern societieshas been closely linked with construction industries: investments, transportinfrastructures for materials and labour-intensive building programmes all have alarge impact on local, regional and even global economies. The end results haveshaped the built environment of our everyday lives and have often led to anincreased quality of life and affluence, though there are many cases that did theopposite as well. Large-scale building projects in pre-industrial societies requiredextensive manual labour to be invested from the moment materials were scouted for, over the extraction, transportation, use and the subsequent maintenance. Since mostancient societies were based on subsistence economies, important decision-making wasa daily balancing act between building work and agriculture. These decisions oftenstrongly influenced the patterns of land use and may have also resulted in circulareconomic strategies. The papers presented in this volume emphasise the importance ofthe socio-economic and political structures and decision-making that resulted in ¿Building Big¿, irrespective of the shape and final size of the projects. 120 pp. Englisch.
