Dr Tanja Romankiewicz’s research analyses archaeological remains of early architectures to understand the strategies of past communities in creating their built environment. Dr Tanja Romankiewicz’s research on prehistoric roundhouses aims to deepen the link of local communities with their past by informing decisions on their current built environment by the practices of people living in the same area thousands of years earlier. In February 2016, Dr Romankiewicz worked with the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and National Museums Scotland (NMS) as part of the Year of Architecture 2016 initiative. Dr Romankiewicz, along with two other speakers, participated in an event organised by the Society and hosted at NMS ‘6,000 years of architecture’ where she was asked to identify three examples of architectural innovation and design by the earliest people of Scotland. Dr Romankiewicz also explained how concepts of architecture thousands of years old can be highly relevant for modern sustainable building. Significant secondary reach was achieved via social media and the STV website.
