Medieval Architecture and the Daily Life in the Medieval age is the intersection of my interests.
I started out my adult life as a eco homesteader, wanting to build my own natural buildings, and wanting to legitimize green build with the mainstream. Naiveté aside, the irony being that the natural building movement is what got me into the medieval architecture rabbit hole. Now 2 decades later, I've got a degree in Architecture, and nearly a double major Art History and Cultural Anthropology, all focused on 13th-15th century France and the Maghreb. I've traveled to France several times to visit surviving Architecture.
For decades I've had an idea to build a living history medieval castle with surrounding village, but that's not something I have capital or resources for.
This is a library of resources of all things about medieval life, form the villages and buildings they lived in to daily life economics. This is a living page as I build upon it. There's a lot of academic articles and books which are property of the professors that isn't listed here.
In Construction Castle-
Guedelon Castle- A castle being build from the ground up with period 13th century techniques. I visited here in 2019.
