Connections between the deconstruction of ancient spaces and post-ancient construction projects (Topoi E-I)

Within this project Bernhard Fritsch explored the links between the deconstruction of ancient spaces and post-antiquity construction projects in the city of Rome. He examined the use of spolia ­– antique building elements (such as columns or marble blocks) re-used in newer monuments ­– in the construction and re-construction of St. Peter´s Basilica in Rome.
