Abstract
This chapter explores the performance of buildings and the significance of architectural forms through the examination of building shape and size and the analysis of building’s installations and occupation surfaces as indicators of social practices and choices. The micro-scale examinations of building practices and operations, which have been presented in the previous chapter, are integrated, into this section, with the meso-scale analyses of the building’s spatial characteristics and of buildings constitutive elements. This evidence provides important clues to analyse the way buildings were used, perceived and experienced in the prehistoric communities of Cyprus.
