Lex Bosman

Architectuurgeschiedenis (History of Architecture) Universiteit van Amsterdam

Since 1 June 2007 Lex Bosman (1956) is professor in the History of Architecture (architectuurgeschiedenis / geschiedenis van de bouwkunst) at the Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) participating in the BA and MA programs of Art History and related fields. He teaches and publishes about early Christian, medieval and Renaissance architecture, and about Dutch architecture in the 18th century as well as Dutch colonial architecture and town-planning.

His research is focused on medieval and renaissance architecture and on the meaning of architecture. In general it is the process of planning, designing and construction and the way several individuals and institutions depend on each other during this process that fascinates him. These are the general guidelines for the research. Research into the use of spolia in the architecture in Rome fits well in this general theme.

Lex Bosman is member of the internationaleditorial board of Fragmenta. Mededelingen van het Koninklijk Nederlands Instituut in Rome, member of the International Consultative Committee of the European Romanesque Centre (Europäisches Romanik Zentrum, Halle/Merseburg), co-editor of the Bulletin van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Oudheidkundige Bond, member of the Koninklijk Nederlands Instituut Rome (Reale Istituto Neerlandese a Roma), commissioner of the Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser and member of the board of the Vereniging van Nederlandse Kunsthistorici (association of Dutch art historians).
