Spatial analysis and social spaces. Interdisciplinary approaches to the interpretation of prehistoric and historic built environments

Edited by Eleftheria Paliou, Undine Lieberwirth & Silvia Polla Berlin/Boston 2014

Spatial analysis and social spaces. Interdisciplinary approaches to the interpretation of prehistoric and historic built environments In recent years a range of formal methods of spatial analysis have been developed for the study of human engagement, experience and socialisation within the built environment. Many, although not all, of these emanate from the fields of architectural and urban studies, and draw upon social theories of space that lay emphasis on the role of visibility, movement, and accessibility in the built environment.
