Getting out of a Dead End in Final Palatial Crete: Applying Space Syntax Analysis to the Casa dei Vani Aggiunti Progressivamente at Haghia Triada
No full textthe present paper intends to supplement the available description of both structures and finds from the LM III Villaggio by focusing on the most monumental building located within its borders, the Casa dei Vani Aggiunti Progressivamente (Privitera 2015a, 35-83), in the light of data deriving from the application of space syntax analysis (Hillier 1996; 2014). The idea of selecting such a building as a case-study essentially draws on Letesson’s researches concerning Neopalatial architecture (Letesson 2009, 2014), which conclusively showed how the arrangement and inner organization of about seventy Minoan buildings betray the existence of a subjacent architectural set of principles or a ‘genotype’. It is our contention that employing such a methodology makes it possible to raise several interpretative questions, such as to what extent Casa VAP shows formal links with the Neopalatial building tradition and whether the cultural code/s that inspired its layout evolved over its long period of life (ca. 150-175 years, from early LM IIIA2 through late LM IIIB)
5. The Excavation of Building CD
No full textFollowing the 2007-2008 campaigns, the presence of a large Postpalatial building in Zones 3 and 4 on top of the Buffo hill at Sissi has been established (Gaignerot-Driessen & Letesson 2009: 113-114). The first two years of exploration have also made it clear that the site preserved traces of an earlier occupation (spaces 4.1-4.3, see Letesson 2009: 132). The 2009 and 2010 excavation campaigns concentrated on defining the limits of the building and on the investigation of its rooms and spaces ..
Du Phénotype au génotype
No full textÂge d’or de la civilisation minoenne, la période néopalatiale (1600-1425 avant notre ère) révéla un paysage architectural foisonnant et complexe. Bien que cette architecture fut largement étudiée et commentée, à ce jour, elle reste l’objet de bon nombre d’interrogations et souffre de l’absence d’approches réellement systématiques et exhaustives. En se basant sur les principes de la théorie de la syntaxe spatiale et en les étoffant de méthodologies auxiliaires, cet ouvrage se propose d’analyser le bâti néopalatial sous ses formes les plus diverses. Ce faisant, il vise également à une meilleure compréhension du fonctionnement de la société minoenne au début de l’âge du Bronze Récent. Ce livre s’adresse à toute personne ayant un intérêt pour la civilisation minoenne, et en particulier son âge d’or et sa production architecturale. De manière plus générale, il sera également utile aux lecteurs s’intéressant aux rapports complexes entre la société et son espace bâti, ainsi qu’à l’application de l’analyse de la syntaxe spatiale dans le cadre de la recherche en archéologie
