The Construction History Group (CHG) intends to support research and teaching related to the history of construction. It is our intention to provide space on the website to report courses, conferences, and exhibitions that intersect the themes of CHG organised by the Politecnico di Torino but also outside of it, especially when members of the group are involved. The CHG aims to discuss studies related to the history of construction in a wider context (actors, processes, economies, techniques, theories…). However, although we support and encourage a multidisciplinary approach, this does not mean that there are no boundaries.
