Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Main aim of the course is to see changes in style, seams and rests of earlier construction phases.
Dealing with the activities in a workshop (f.e. In the fields of planning, masonry and documentation) art historians should improve their understanding mediaeval architecture. Another topic is the interdependency of original use of mediaeval buildings and their appearance, the change of use as motivation for (re-)building activities. Participants should get to know traditional skills of the craftsmen as well as modern techniques in building research, documentation and preservation as base for building and maintainance of a historical building.

Due to the long construction period St.Stephen's followed different plans and shows different styles. It can be understood only by intense studies of the evolution of the building – considering both historical use of a church and building techniques and their changes.
Studies will cover literature, intense contact with the building itself and the comparison of modern and mediaeval plans with the built reality.
A relevant point will be to see the work for the preservation of mediaeval monuments both in the workshop and on the scaffold: Planning, making of the workpieces and their application as well as the documentation of the state of the building and activities for its maintenance.
