A proposito di questo titolo
How does one build a dome? How do arches stay upright? What good is a Classics degree outside of Classics? In this episode, Marina and I will traverse through all such questions as I get a run-down of a Roman construction method to "vault with air." I'm excited to bring you Marina Martin because vaulting tubes are simply fantastic and deserve appreciation, and because she has experience both within Classics and beyond it. After completing her Bachelor's in Classics at McGill, she's now at Cambridge in Architecture and Urban Design, and we talk about how she's able to apply the skills she learned in her undergraduate in a new field (e.g., to find unique solutions to climate change by referring to ancient construction techniques). So join us and prepare to look at archways with renewed fascination and a better understanding of how you can make one for yourself.
