The Latin Language of Architecture: Britain 1150-1350

Karl Kinsella received his DPhil from the University of Oxford for a study on textual and visual representations of architecture in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. In 2023, he published the book God's Own Language: Architectural Drawing in the Twelfth Century with MIT Press. Since coming to Aberdeen, he has won a two-year Leverhulme fellowship for the project The Latin Language of Architecture: Britain 1150-1350. It is from his latest research on this topic that he will present his paper.
