A LEGO® model of the Roman Villa in Heitersheim
A cooperation between Public BRICKstory and the Museum “Villa urbana” in Heitersheim
April 2017 to October 2018
Model of the Villa
A model of the villa will be built using LEGO® with the intent of depicting the villa’s main building along with the pavilion and bath house. The interior of the villa shall also be decorated and visible. The model will be accessible to visitors and designed in a way as to be playable for children. The model will cover a total area of 1.60 by 1.60m.
Exhibition and workshops
The model will be exhibited in the preserved cellar of the Museum of the “Villa urbana” in Heitersheim, starting in April 2017. The model will be accompanied by an exhibition documenting our work process, explaining the individual parts of the model and presenting the functions of a Roman villa by means of a childfriendly text.
In addition, we shall offer workshops to various themes surrounding the Villa Heitersheim, the dates of which are yet to be determined.
Who are we?
We are Public BRICKstory.
We, Kevin Walter and Oliver Isensee, are Masters students of History at the University of Freiburg. We have dedicated ourselves to the question how history is conveyed to the public and why toys play such a minor role in this regard. With this in mind we founded the project Public BRICKstory.
What is the aim of Public BRICKstory?
To render history tangible – in both a literal as
well as metaphorical sense.
To most people, history is never more than a theoretical object learnt in school. By the use of LEGO® for the design of historic settings and environments we intend to make this object lifelike and tangible.
Why LEGO®?
Everybody knows LEGO®.
LEGO® connects generations. Children play with it, and parents and grandparents play with their children and grandchildren. LEGO®’s great variety of building blocks allows for a very flexible implementation and realisation of ideas. LEGO® also enhances as well as demands finesse and creativity amongst all who build with it.
What do we offer?
Interactive History.
We build models in historical settings. Furthermore, we offer an interpretation of the model in its historic representation by means of an accompanying exhibition as well as workshops for anyone between 5 and 99 years of age.
