About
The purpose of the conference is to investigate the social, cultural and environmental aspects of housing in the Etruscan, Greek and Roman worlds of the Mediterranean basin, looking at habitat and urbanisation. The symposium aims at addressing questions such as "How did social space and dynamics change?" and "How did housing arrangements and styles change according to climate, and cultures, from the earliest Orientalising period down to Late Antiquity?" .
The themes of the conference will therefore deal with the development and internationalisation of domestic architecture in the Mediterranean, the transformation and diffusion of different housing styles, the implications for the social interaction, and the adaptation to regional environments of Classical models of housing
