Build Like a Roman is a podcast about how the Roman world was built. Focusing on materials, craft, and construction, each episode explores the practical realities of Roman building — from stone, brick, and mortar to the organisation of labour and technical skill behind surviving structures. Short, focused episodes introduce core building materials before diving deeper into how buildings were made, maintained, and understood in the Roman world. For students of archaeology, history, and art history — and for anyone interested in how ancient buildings actually came into being. North Africa and Western Asia are home to a multitude of Roman buildings. Some still used on a daily basis, others in ruins, but that's typically not the fault of the original builders. The fact that these still exist at all after 2,000 years or more is a testament to skill and creativity of the original builders. There are some great Podcast which look at Roman politics, history, and architecture, however in this Podcast, we focus on Construction history, that being building materials, techniques and and the people who did the work! From structures to frescos, we'll cover it all! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Historia
In the Architectural Heritage Podcast, Darren McLean looks at how traditional buildings in three strands: Beginning with traditional Materials from stone cottages and timber frames to lime mortar, brick, thatch, slate, earth construction, this episode introduces the materials and methods that shaped historic buildings before industrial standardisation changed construction. We’ll explore why local materials mattered, how buildings adapted to climate and landscape, and why understanding original construction is essential before repairing or conserving old buildings. Then we’ll move on to construction history, and the evolution of buildings from the Tudor period in the 1500s, up to around the 1930s We’ll also be looking at the problems with old buildings and some appropriate things you can do to resolve them. For architects, engineers, building historians, conservation students, practitioners and owners of historic buildings, this episode sets out a simple starting point: understand how the building works before trying to fix it.
