Elements of Architecture explores new ways of engaging architecture
in archaeology. It conceives of architecture both as the physical
evidence of past societies and as existing beyond the physical
environment, considering how people in the past have not just
dwelled in buildings but have existed within them. The book engages
with the meeting point between these two perspectives. For although
archaeologists must deal with the presence and absence of
physicality as a discipline, which studies humans through things,
to understand humans they must also address the performances, as
well as temporal and affective impacts, of these material remains.
The contributions in this volume investigate the way time,
performance and movement, both physically and emotionally, are
central aspects of understanding architectural assemblages. It is a
book about the constellations of people, places and things that
emerge and dissolve as affective, mobile, performative and temporal
engagements. This volume juxtaposes archaeological research with
perspectives from anthropology, architecture, cultural geography
and philosophy in order to explore the kaleidoscopic intersections
of elements coming together in architecture. Documenting the
ephemeral, relational, and emotional meeting points with a category
of material objects that have defined much research into what it
means to be human, Elements of Architecture elucidates and expands
upon a crucial body of evidence which allows us to explore the
lives and interactions of past societies.
