Ever since anthropology has existed as a discipline, anthropologists have thought about architectural forms. This book provides the first overview of how anthropologists have studied architecture and the extraordinarily rich thought and data this has produced.With a focus on domestic space - that intimate context in which anthropologists traditionally work - the book explains how anthropologists think about public and private boundaries, gender, sex and the body, the materiality of architectural forms and materials, building technologies and architectural representations. Each chapter uses a broad range of case studies from around the world to examine from within anthropology what architecture 'does' - how it makes people and shapes, sustains and unravels social relations.
An Anthropology of Architecture is key reading for students of anthropology, material culture, geography, sociology, architectural theory, design and city planning.

Ethnographic glimpses range from Mongolian yurts to the "sick building syndrome" of certain London high-rises. Buchli's volume is "an anthropology," and deliberately idiosyncratic. His prose is not easily followed, and allusions may elude those lacking knowledge of the literature

It is really difficult for those of us who knew Michael to see him portrayed so poorly. And each tutorial is a progression. I liked most of it. good. I am starting a small retail business and found this books description to be along the same lines of what i wanted to know. This book introduces readers to many of the forms and expressions of those who choose not believe in God, or who could not believe if they tried." (xi)
