Descripción del proyecto
La arquitectura de las villas marítimas romanas y su impacto ambiental
Las villas marítimas desempeñan un papel crucial en nuestra comprensión de la urbanización antigua y la relación dinámica entre los seres humanos y el medio ambiente. Las amenazas que plantean la erosión costera, la subida del nivel del mar y las actividades humanas han llevado a estas villas a la vanguardia de la investigación ambiental. En la actualidad, existe un vacío en la investigación sobre las comparaciones regionales arquitectónicas de las villas marítimas y su influencia en los entornos locales. El equipo del proyecto CLaRMaV,, financiado por las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, se centra en el estudio de las villas marítimas romanas de la cuenca mediterránea entre los siglos II a. C. y VI d. C. Se investigarán los modelos arquitectónicos, las tendencias, las funciones espaciales y la contribución de las villas a la economía local. En CLaRMaV se analizará cómo las estructuras domésticas utilizan los recursos naturales, empleando sistemas de información geográfica y reconstrucciones tridimensionales para la recopilación de datos.
Objetivo
Coastal heritage is increasingly at risk from both natural and man-made factors, and is therefore crucial to document it before it disappears. Maritime villas, a common feature of the Roman Mediterranean, are very important for understanding the development of ancient urbanisation and architectural forms, the interaction between humans and the environment, and the use of natural resources. Yet, an overall study looking at the architecture of Roman maritime villas in the Mediterranean regions and how they impacted on, and were shaped by, their local environments is lacking. CLaRMaV will investigate the typology of Roman maritime villas across the Mediterranean Basin (2nd century BC-6th century AD). It will do so by studying the architectural models adopted and developed in the various regions; the prevailing trends over time; the use of individual architectural spaces; and the role of these villas in the local economy. The project will focus on the dialogue between domestic architecture and the environment and look at the use of available natural resources. Special attention will be given to water usage and to whether any water-saving measures were put in place to address its scarcity in some regions. This project, with its multidisciplinary nature, will contribute to the knowledge of the architectural, environmental, and socio-economic histories of the Roman Empire. By incorporating in its methodology the use of GIS and 3-D reconstructions, the resulting outputs will be of use to archaeological sites and museums, both in managing the sites and in offering educational resources to visitors. The coastal environments occupied by ancient maritime villas are seriously impacted by coastal erosion, rising sea levels due to climate change, and anthropic actions. Therefore, it is vital to systematically record and study these structures. The data generated by the project will be useful to local authorities in charge of preservation of coastal heritage and urban planning.
