This doctorate project is about the study of windows and light in living context in the Roman world. The aim is to understand the role of the window within domestic space and therefore the impact of light and landscape on architectural choices and on the use of space between IInd century B.C.E and Ist century C.E. For such a project, the doctorate research will include studies of ancient text, database work especially in Pompeii and Herculaneum and the use of tridimensional reconstitution.
