Project repository
The repository of the Pantheon Project is meant to provide the resarch community with all materials necessary to reassess the results published by the project.
Moreover, by publishing high resolution research data under open access the project group wants to stimulate further research on the Pantheon and roman architecture in general.
The Bern Digital Pantheon Project
Gerd Graßhoff and Michael Heinzelmann and Nikolaos Theocharis and Markus Wäfler, The Bern Digital Pantheon Project. Plates, Berlin u.a.: LIT Verlag 2009
The Pantheon in Rome is one of the world’s most famous buildings, and is also one of the best preserved examples of Roman architecture. However, although the Pantheon has been extensively studied by architects, historians and archaeologists since the Renaissance, many questions remain concerning its design, construction, engineering and building logistics as well as its original purpose. The Bern Digital Pantheon Project embraces an open access approach to its Digital Pantheon Model, which was created from the data of a digitisation operation that was carried out in December 2005 and July 2007 by two teams of archaeologists, engineers and historians of science, using state-of-the-art technology. This book displays some of the results. Data and high resolution images can be accessed from the project’s web site, and, over time, more will become available to the general public. The international scientific community is invited to use the data for individual research purposes, to contribute information and make critiques, and to discuss the results online through special web interfaces. It is hoped that this will generate new ways of networking, particularly on scientific problems of broader inter- or multidisciplinary interests.
The Pantheon in Rome. Contributions
Gerd Graßhoff and Michael Heinzelmann and Markus Wäfler, The Pantheon in Rome. Contributions to the Conference Bern, November 9-12, 2006, Bern: Bern Studies 2009
The Bern Digital Pantheon Project was officially launched at an international conference that was held in November 2006 on the first anniversary of the new Institute of Archaeology. Forty leading Pantheon experts accepted the invitation to come together in the Swiss capital. Archaeologists, architectural historians, art historians, historians and engineers were thus able to present and discuss new observations in an exceptionally open and stimulating atmosphere. The conference resulted in an exciting reappraisal of hitherto accepted information, presented new approaches and laid new foundations on which further Pantheon research will be built. This volume documents, therefore, the current state of research on the Pantheon.
Das Marsfeld in Rom. Beiträge
Jon Albers and Gerd Graßhoff and Michael Heinzelmann and Markus Wäfler, Das Marsfeld in Rom. Beiträge der Berner Tagung vom 23./24. November 2007, Bern: Bern Studies 2008
Das Marsfeld in Rom: Dieser Titel umschreibt nicht nur ein riesiges Areal der antiken Metropole, sondern impliziert insbesondere auch eine langanhaltende konsequente Bebauungs- und Stifterhistorie, die sich annähernd über die 1000 Jahre der römischen Geschichte erstreckt. Dementsprechend grossräumig ist auch die Marsfeldforschung der letzten 100 Jahre angelegt gewesen, da nicht einfach nur einzelne Baukomplexe zu analysieren waren, sondern Elemente des Feldes unter dem Gesichtspunkt des zeitlichen Wandels untersucht werden mussten. Einigen Stifterpersönlichkeiten und allgemeinen Aspekten des Marsfeldes soll in Form dieses Bandes differenziert nachgegangen werden. Auch zusammenhängende Bauvorhaben einzelner Kaiser werden dabei analysiert. Die Tagungsbeiträge beschäftigen sich vor allem mit dem Marsfeld in den Jahren zwischen der Republik und dem frühen 2. Jh. v. Chr. und sind chronologisch geordnet.
