Here, Antipov describes how, through an analysis of building materials, it was possible to illustrate the course of development of construction practices in medieval Novgorod. Beatriz Mugayar Kühl in Railways in Sao Paulo (Brazil): impacts on construction culture and on the transformation of the territory (1860-1940), contributes an important historical analysis of the growth of the railway system in Brazil, describing its expansion, in the late nineteenth century, primarily as a means for British plantation owners to transport coffee to ports, and its decline in the twentieth century as road use increased. The impact of railway building on wider construction industry culture was significant, in terms of building types, building systems, construction labour and skills, and building materials, especially the use of brick masonry which replaced the traditional system of rammed earth.
