Book Synopsis

We are what we build and how we build; thus, the study of construction history is now more than ever at the centre of current debates as to the shape of a sustainable future for humankind. In this respect, History of Construction Cultures is a critical and indispensable work that expands our understanding of the ways in which everyday building activities have been perceived and experienced in different cultures, from ancient times to our century and all over the world.
History of Construction Cultures brings together the presentations given at the 7ICCH â Seventh International Congress on Construction History broadcast live from Lisbon, Portugal on 12â16 July 2021. The 7ICCH was organized by the Sociedade Portuguesa de Estudos de HistÃria da ConstruÃÃo (Portuguese Society for Construction History Studies â SPEHC); the Lisbon School of Architecture, University of Lisbon; its Research Centre (CIAUD); and the College of Social and Human Sciences of the NOVA University
