Abstract: Weary of the present-day inflation of possibilities for planning, building, learning, and living, and with an increasingly acute sense of the artificiality of our professional training, we—a historian, an architect, and a small group of students—chose to get away from urban scenery and to put ourselves to the test through a summer. We settled in the middle of a forest, giving ourselves time for reflection and action from a radically different perspective. Inspired by classic authors and classical culture, since 2008 we have been taking the local natural building techniques of a Wallachian valley as a guide to the timeless topography of the ancient world.
