INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN KIEL, 30/10 – 02/11/2018
The CRC 1266 (Scales of Transformation, project E3) housed at the University of Kiel, Germany, announces a conference on Hellenistic architecture conceptualised as an action context. The aim of this conference is to present and discuss recent research that focuses on the various ways in which architecture exerted influence on human beings and vice versa in antiquity.
Papers may focus on one of the following topics:
- Landscape & Architecture: How did landscape interact with architecture and human action in Hellenistic times?
- Movement & Space: Which architecturally marked guidelines for human movement in built space can be identified (e.g. in ritual or urban context)?
- Architecture & Perception: How did architecture influence human perception in built space?
- Communication & Semantics: In which ways did architecture serve as a means of communication, providing information for people acting in built space?
