Architecture and Order - Approaches to Social Space

For over a decade, archaeologists have developed a language with which to describe architecture's symbolic use of space, but, as yet, there is no single study of this field nor have archaeologists sufficiently defined their discipline's interaction with architecture and anthropology. Architecture and Order addresses these and other long ignored topics. Along with architectural case studies are essays which discuss everything from studies of hunter-gatherer camp organization to the use of space in classical and medieval worlds. These essays manage to simultaneously explore aspects of social, psychiatric and architectural theory.
