CfP: 6th International Congress on Construction History. Brussels, 9-13 July 2018

Call for Sessions: 6th International Congress on Construction History. Brussels, 9-13 July 2018.

The 6th International Congress on Construction History (6ICCH) will be organised in Brussels, from July 9 to July 13, 2018. For the first time, thematic sessions as well as the usual open sessions will be organised. Therefore, a two-step procedure is adopted: the call for thematic sessions is launched first, followed by the general call for abstracts. The general call for abstracts will invite contributions for the special thematic sessions as well as contributions dealing with a broad range of construction history topics (typology, the action of building, knowledge transfer, process and actors, materials, services, etc.). With this combination, the organisers aim at both a broad and an in-depth assessment of new research in construction history.
The call for session can be accessed here.
Call for sessions deadline: 1st April 2017.
6ICCH organising committee: KU Leuven (Krista De Jonge), Universiteit Antwerpen (Michael de Bouw), Université Catholique de Louvain (Patricia Radelet-de Grave, Denis Zastavni), Université Libre de Bruxelles (Rika Devos, Bernard Espion), Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Inge Bertels, Stephanie Van de Voorde, Ine Wouters)
