Architecture in Words - Theatre, Language and the Sensuous Space of Architecture
What if the house you are about to enter was built with the confessed purpose of seducing you, of creating various sensations destined to touch your soul and make you reflect on who you are? Could architecture have such power? Generations of architects at the beginning of modernity assumed it could. From the mid-eighteenth century onwards, architects believed that the aim of architecture was to communicate the character and social status of the client or to express the destination and purpose of a building.
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.
