Editorial: Outlook on the future contribution of museums to the history of construction engineering

摘要

The permanent collections of many museums, including the museums of science and technology at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, can often serve as places for the study of civil and building engineering history in addition to the museums' temporary exhibitions and their various educational initiatives. They can, for example, present the physical basis for structural analysis related to different construction techniques on the one hand and, on the other, show models representing both historical and modern construction methods and examples of specific construction materials and their applications. Other galleries of the Deutsches Museum are devoted to topics such as surveying, and the production of materials in general. The visitor is conducted as a curious observer to a construction site.
