Description
This detailed study of the housing in Greece between the late Byzantine and early modern periods treats houses as a container of material culture, and of functional and social activity, within the context of a changing socio-economic environment'. Sigalos discusses the processes affected the design and construction of houses, their function and location within settlements, the impact of privacy, gender and other social issues on house layout, and considerations of style. Sections examine different types of Greek vernacular architecture, examples of excavated and surveyed houses, buildings in Boiotia and Messenia. Much of the book comprises catalogues of structures. These catalogues and accompanying illustrations are presented on the enclosed CD.
