Listening to the Stones: Essays on Architecture and Function in
Ancient Greek Sanctuaries in Honour of Richard Alan Tomlinson deals
with a range of topics that relate to the broad scope of Richard
Tomlinson's archaeological quests and echoes his own methodology in
research. Innovative masonry modes, matters of style and orders,
proportions and design principles, as well as the inter-regional
connections which fostered the transmission of architectural
traditions and technical know-how have been cardinal points in
Tomlinson's writings and lectures, as much as the Greek foundations
on foreign soil, the forethought in planning, achievements in the
field of engineering and the interaction between the secular, the
sepulchral and the sacred premises in an ancient city. The
conservative or progressive attitudes of a society usually leave an
imprint on architectural creations. So, architecture is subject to
evolution along with the developing societies. Its gradual changing
signifies the building programs taken up by ancient communities.
Within this frame, we better comprehend the function of public
edifices, the remodeling of cult sites in accordance with historic
circumstances, the role of politics in architecture. This book is a
token of appreciation for a British professor of archaeology, who
spread knowledge of the Greek civilization, manifesting the
brilliant spirit of the versatile ancient Greek builders.
