Description - Architecture and Order by Michael Parker Pearson
Architecture is a powerful medium for representing, ordering and classifying the world; meaning may be created and reworked by defining symbolic boundaries, analogues and metaphors. For over a decade archaeologists have been using concepts of the symbolic use of space, but as yet there is no single study of this field, or its interaction with architecture and anthropology. The contributions to this volume range from studies of hunter-gatherer camp organization to the use of space in classical and medieval worlds. As well as archaeological case studies, there are contributions exploring aspects of social, psychiatric and architectural theory.
