Using concepts from the social sciences, Anthropology of Architecture, a Language Guide offers guidance to all those who have to deal with the built environment, not least as designers. The language of anthropologists-with words like agency, identity, ritual or tradition-offers surprising inspiration to think more sharply and consciously about the many, diverse ways in which we experience architecture. Thus, the concepts in this volume, accompanied by reflections and concrete examples, arm you to do relevant, people-centered work. Indeed, anthropological language can help you have an eye for the less visible side of architecture: for the landscape of meanings, stories and practices.
