Architecture is a powerful medium for representing, ordering and
classifying the world, and understanding the use of space is
fundamental to archaeological inquiry. Architecture and Order draws
on the work of archaeologists, social theorists and architects to
explore the way in which people relate to the architecture which
surrounds them. In many societies, houses and tombs have encoded
cultural meanings and values which are invoked and recalled through
the practices of daily life. Chapters include explorations of the
early farming r archi*eye of Europe, from before the use of metals,
to the Classical and Medieval worlds of the Mediterranean and
Europe. Research of the recent past and present include an overview
of hunter-gatherers' camp organization, a reassessment of the use
of space amongst the Dogon of West Africa and an examination of
mental disorders relating to the use of space in Britain. The
volume goes beyond the implication that culture determines form to
develop an approach that integrates meaning and practice.
