Master Builder
A master builder or master mason is a central figure leading construction projects in pre-modern times (a precursor to the modern architect and engineer). Historically, the term has generally referred to "the head of a construction project in the Middle Ages or Renaissance period",Olga Popovic Larsen, Andy Tyas, Conceptual Structural Design: Bridging the Gap Between Architects and Engineers' (2003), p. 29-30. with an 1887 source describing the status as follows: The term has also been applied to more broadly include "designers and builders of large-scale construction work who learned their trade in a more formal way than the builders of primitive forms in pre-technological societies... from the times of the Egyptians and Sumerians until (and in some cases beyond) the Industrial Revolution". The phrase has been in use since at least as early as 1610, when William Camden William Camden (2 May 1551 – 9 November 1623) was an English antiquarian, historian, topographer, and ...

The third of three hilltop castles built on the site, it is located atop Mount Hohenzollern, above and south of Hechingen, on the edge of the Swabian Jura of central Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The first castle on the mountain was constructed in the early 11th century.

By the end of the 18th century it was thought to have lost its strategic importance a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
