Description

Explore how the built environment shapes human perception in Making Sense of Monuments. This Routledge Studies in Archaeology text examines how monumental architecture influences our experience through bodily comparison. From the Egyptian pyramids and Stonehenge to Machu Picchu and medieval cathedrals, this book analyzes the connection between physical structures and the human mind. Author Michael J. Kolb uses research from cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and semiotics to explain the mechanics of how we interact with large-scale spaces. By studying the spatialization process, the book looks at how we interpret the material world through three distinct spatial-cognitive metaphors: time, movement, and scale. This work provides a deep look into how monuments like Confederate statues and ancient sites affect our understanding of the world around us.
