Description: Examines the range of meanings attached to spaces and places, from small-scale expressions such as houses to larger ones such as cities and landscapes. Explores how spaces can reflect and foster social con- flict or social unity. Through a study of diverse cultural traditions, considers both the architecture and occupied but “unbuilt” spaces in ancient and current societies.
