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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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, \u003cem\u003eElements of Architecture\u003c\/em\u003e elucidates and expands upon a crucial body of evidence which allows us to explore the lives and interactions of past societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mikkel Bille\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113877541X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138775411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Mikkel Bille","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087769481471,"sku":"9781138775411","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bebdfcf7-0d88-4cf7-8496-fe3070f3da6e.jpg?v=1769101300","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elements-of-architecture-mikkel-bille-9781138775411","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
