Linnéa Rollenhagen Tilly: föreläsning Engelsbergs bruk, 13 februari 2020

Linnéa Rollenhagen Tilly is an Art Historian, teaching the the urban and architectural history of Paris as French 19th century painting. My teaching focus upon the making of art and architecture (actors as social contexts or constraints), thus not only the aesthetical aspects, but also the observation and questioning of the built environment and the reasons behind the makng of a piece of art. As much as possible I include field studies in museums and the city of Paris.

As associated research fellow at AUSser and ATTHEP I am specialized in 17th and 18th century French and Swedish architecture and construction history. I received a PhD from the Paris-Sorbonne IV university in 2006.
In my MA thesis I reconstituted the history of the construction of the quays in Toulouse (1761-1790), the organization of a public building site in the 18th century, practical issues, professions involved, the reshaping of an old urban feature and the reception of the project (critics upon of its utility). A research that has been summarized in two articles.
In my PhD thesis, "Ordinary houses in Paris, 1650-1790", she draw the architectural and functional features of ordinary houses in Paris. Based on archive studies (texts and iconography), the analyzis focuses on the functions, the making, the materials and interior planning system of a broad panel of buildings that rarely survived time and were adapted to the user’s needs. This research is also displayed in three articles.

Since 2007 as a freelance researcher I've been studing the Swedish superintendant Carl Johan Cronstedt, his activities as an organisator and architect. Several articles summarizes parts of these researches as a book published in 2017 (Balkong Förlag in Stockholm, Sweden). A first biography, tracing the content of Cronstedts European training in architecture, his professional network and chosen parts of his professional activities in Sweden (housings, bridges and churches). The book is based on an exceptional material giving new insights in the making of an European architects’ library and thus his education.
Through these projects my interest for French-Swedish professional networks (master-models and materials), the transfer of French models to Sweden and the drawing of a Swedish National style has awaken. Which notably led to published texts upon other French-Swedish architects: Carl Wijnblad, Carl Henric König, F.A.U. Cronstedt, Antoine Desgodets as Simon and Jean de la Vallée.
