Abstract | This session sets out to explore monastic and collegiate architecture under the notion of built communities, focussing on the interaction between concepts of community and architectural space. Three case studies investigate how building complexes structured and shaped the daily life and organisation of religious and academic communities and how they helped to materialise notions of order and unity within a spatial framework. |
