Paper -b:
The medieval town square is an often neglected urban element in research. But by concentrating on this part of the city, it becomes quickly clear, that this area can give important insights into the city's development and structure as well as a reflection of the economic, social and political changes in the city. Bordered by surrounding buildings, the square is defined by its openness and shielded of to the rest of the city. Nevertheless, this does not render the square an empty block but rather a lived space in the medieval city, giving space for markets, gatherings, proclamations etc.
Paper -c:
In medieval times the castle was never a silent structure in the vicinity of a town; quite the opposite it was meant to make a statement, intended for locals and visitors alike; demanding submission and offering protection and prosperity at the same time. Additionally, sometimes, the urban structural design was further refined by the presence of a monastery, founded and endowed by the castle residents. The monks depended on the castle owners for whom they prayed and whom they advised. The paper investigates the interactions between the castle and the monastery and how they shaped the town architecture. The town of Lewes in East Sussex, England will be used as an example.
