Culture of Building

Making large concrete blocks. Latour & Gassend, Travaux Hydrauliques Maritimes (Latour & Gassend, Marseille 1861), plate 32.

This is a world history of building with an emphasis upon the western tradition and upon the development and spread of ideas and practices, as distinct from (but not excluding) inventions.  It is a work in progress: some parts are fully developed, or have been published, whilst others are merely sketched in. Comments, contributions, and especially illustrations, will be gratefully received.
