I want to make short report about our conferences in the last month. First we had a conference with Christian Fernandez, who recently graduated in the ETSAG. He was representing us his thesis about the Iglesia de San Gil, which was built in the 16th century in Plaza Nueva and than demolished 3 centuries later. The building measured about 41x 10 m which is actually pretty big if you can imagine 1/3 or even more of Plaza Nueva being covered by the construction.

The armor deserves special mention in Mudejar ornamental style with a octagonal base and particular structure, with five panel veneered structure which is a self supporting element.
The church was demolished in the 19th century- during the revolution in October of 1869. It was in the willing of the province of Granada due to lack of the housing, which now can be found between the Carrer Alta and Calle Elvira.

Some of the sculptures and carvings can be found in the Museum of Fine Arts of Granada in Alhambra .

After the demolition the seat was fixed in the church of Santa Ana, also the furnishing and works of interest.
It was also interesting to see the approach of the work of Christian. It is important to collect data, study the neighborhood and of course find the documentation from as much literature and graphics as possible. I liked his approach with 3D analysing of the structure, from the big scale into small parts, like " opening the box".
LA VIDA COTIDIANA EN LA TARDOANTIGUEDAD
In the second phase we learned a bit more about the Roman history. We know there has always been epochs and Roman Empire had three of them:
1. Monarchy
2. Republic- "Rome as the new centre of the world"
3. Empire
Quotes:
" Habitar es lo propio de la especie humana"
" Habitar es dejar huellas" , which means that inhabit is a proper thing of every human being. Every human being leaves its traces in the surrounding and is conditioned by the history.

In Roman empire the day time was counted in 12 hours and night time was divides into 4 vigils. They used solar clock in the public spaces to serve the people all the day. Some solar watches are still kept in the cities of Pompei, Merida, Segobriga.
