Art with an Expert – Wooden Stories: Framing Carpentry in the Colonial Andes (Smith Building)
With Dr. Francisco Mamani-Fuentes. This talk will explore the beautiful and intricate wooden vaults developed across the Viceroyalty of Peru, from the 16th to the 18th centuries. The origins of historical framing carpentry in both the Iberian Peninsula and the Ancient Andes will be considered, showing how interdisciplinary approaches support our understanding of the built environment.
