Bericht über die Summer School 2016 JF - e-Forschungsberichte des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts N2 - According to the Letter of Intent on Cooperation between the Palace Museum and the German Archaeological Institute from 2015 both institutes intend to cooperate on projects focusing on ancient palace architectures. As the first project of cooperation, the so-called Crystal Palace (Lingzhao Xuan) in the courtyard of the former Palace of Prolonging Happiness (Yanxi Gong) was selected, because it represents a unique example of the influence of western construction methods and architectural elements on Chinese palace architecture. The building, begun in 1909, is most unusual for the architecture of the Forbidden City because of its choice of materials. We are dealing with a stone-iron construction with cast iron and steel supports for floor and ceiling construction, pavilion-like super structures with iron and steel profiles, even steel door casings and window frames. The Summer School comprised mainly the mediation of theoretical principles of building archaeology and early iron construction including its cleaning and structural improvement on the one hand and practical work on the object itself on the other hand. A first round of discussions was added to heritage values and possible forms of presentation of the ‘Crystal Palace’, which initially was planned to be an aquarium. Looking for architectural examples in Europe it seems plausible that some inspiration from western aquaria helped the vision of the last emperors of China of a modern fish pool with clear water to gain shape. Concerning the question if the iron elements just like the decorated tiles also came from Germany it is suggested that these were enveloped in the context of the contemporary building project of the Tianjin-Pukow Railway for which the major share of orders had gone to German firms.

Darüber hinaus besitzen diese Modelle ein großes Potenzial, um als Werkzeuge in Arbeitsprozessen von historischer ­Bauforschung und praktischer Denkmalpflege genutzt zu wer­den. Sie können beispielsweise dazu dienen, die Plau­sibilität von Rekonstruktionsvorschlägen früh­zeitig im 3D-Raum zu überprüfen und mögliche Maßnahmen zwischen Wissenschaftler:innen, Poli­tiker:innen, Bürger:innen und anderen Stake­holdern zu kommunizieren und diskutieren. In einem Workshop am Architekturreferat des DAI in Berlin wurde das virtuelle Modell des Basars von Aleppo als Fallstudie zu den genannten Fragen präsentiert.

Archaeology and ›Shared Heritage‹ of German Colonialism in Former Togoland. Research in 2022 and 2023 JF - e-Forschungsberichte des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts N2 - A cooperative project focusing on the archaeology and ›shared heritage‹ of German colonialism in the former Togoland colony brings together capacities from Ghanaian and German partners in the fields of archaeology, history, ethnography, architecture/building archaeology and surveying/cartography. The project aims to document, research, preserve, and present built heritage from the German colonial period in close consultation and cooperation with local authorities and communities. Building on extensive archaeological research on German missionisation and colonisation of Togoland led by Wazi Apoh and students over the past 20 years, the project partners initially focus on archival and building archaeological research, including damage assessments and restoration/rehabilitation planning in addition to (GIS-)mapping. This report outlines preliminary results from preparatory research in 2022 and a first field season in the Volta Region of Ghana in early 2023, and it highlights possible avenues for further work.
