Anthropology of Space

The Anthropology of Space examines how humans create, interpret, and experience physical environments. It explores how spaces—homes, cities, temples—reflect cultural values, social relationships, and identities. By studying these environments, anthropologists reveal how space influences behavior and meaning, revealing the ways people organize their lives and express their culture through spatial arrangements. It combines physical layout with symbolic significance, helping us understand the connection between spatial practices and cultural identity across different societies.
