Reading Space
Reading Space: Social Interaction and Identity in the Houses of Roman Pompeii : a Syntactical Approach to the Analysis and Interpretation of Built Space | Mark Grahame
30 posts
Mark Grahame's study, originally based around his doctoral thesis, discusses a new theoretical and methodological approach to interpreting the use of space and the `meaning' of buildings, how people interact with them and the social factors that can be gleaned from them. 144 Pompeiian houses are subjected to Grahame's access analysis, the results of which allow him to write a new interpretation of the rules governing the ordering of space, different spatial configurations within buildings, physical movement around houses and different social trends in using these built spaces.

kwmg40 @DogMomIrene Thanks. I did try to find a spot with good natural lighting. Canadian winters can get dreary sometimes! 3y
DogMomIrene @kwmg40 Yes! We immigrated/moved to Vancouver Island last July. Definitely gray days here, but I love this climate much more than Arizona🔥 3y
kwmg40 @DogMomIrene Vancouver Island is beautiful! I had the pleasure of visiting it a couple of times, but it's been many years. It's definitely time for another visit. 3y
DogMomIrene @kwmg40 Yes! Now that things are opening up more, we‘re starting to plan some trips. There‘s so much to see here, and there‘s the mainland too! It‘s all gorgeous. 3y
kwmg40 @DogMomIrene Glad to hear that things are getting back to normal in your part of the country! 3y

DinoMom I need this in my life. I have a soaker tub in my bedroom that we never use …🤔🤔🤔 … maybe that needs to be removed and something like this added in its place . 3y

Our new house had a little ‘playroom‘ - first priority has been to turn that into a little library room. The rest of the house is in disarray - but I have a lovely calm space to read so all is well with the world!

julesG It's lovely! I completely missed your move. Thought you were on holiday. 🙈 3y

Jennick2004 I‘m so jealous...I literally don‘t have one corner of my house to myself 😭 maybe I‘ll have to fix a spot on the (enclosed) porch for 3 season reading in the spring! 6y

My boyfriend started assembling the patio furniture that his mom generously bought us when she visited a couple weeks ago.

The porch off of the master bedroom was always going to be a personal #readingnook for me and now it is finally a reality!

Soon it will be warm enough to really enjoy (well I hope so anyways, it was snowing two days ago 🙄).

TrishB Looks lovely ❤️ 7y
