Dr. Senseney is an historian of the architecture of the ancient Mediterranean world. He's written on topics including Archaic Greek construction and engineering; how the making of things impacted how Greeks understood bodies, the universe, and perception; and how Romans changed the world through highly original adaptations of Greek objects, thought, approaches to form creation, and models of architectural and artistic patronage. He's the author of The Art of Building in the Classical World: Vision, Craftsmanship, and Linear Perspective in Greek and Roman Architecture (Cambridge University Press, 2013), among several article-length studies. His current research on ancient architecture and religion has been sponsored by a National Endowment for the Humanities ARIT Senior Fellowship, as well as other funding sources.
