Using the reproduction of ancient tools and machines, participants are invited to erect sections of walls by reproducing the gestures and processes of Roman builders.

Every building has a past and the study of its construction and its transformations is as interesting as the excavation in the basement. With this workshop, Récréasciences invites you to discover the archaeology of the built through an introduction to ancient methods and techniques of construction.
With the help of reproductions of tools and roman machines (square, level, chorobate, groma, wolf...), the participants have 1h to erect walls in three stages:

• The trace: line, angle and ellipse
• The construction: foundations, blocks and rubble, blocking...
• The decoration: cladding, stucco...
  A workshop for the whole family!
