| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to apply "…a new theory of space
syntax developed by architects..." to the analysis of "…Zuni settlements occupied
between the Spanish Entrado of 1540 and the 1980s" (p. xiii). The goal of this research
is a better understanding of the change in Zuni society, as seen through change in Zuni
architecture. The results are mixed. Ferguson concludes that space syntax is a useful
way to analyze space, but that its theoretical base needs further development (p.
152). |
