Description
Alongside a crucial examination of the factual data and accurate evaluations of the results of the excavations, it is imperative to try to establish a new connection between the site and the deep intimate feeling of subjective experience. Thus, architecture for archaeology proposes itself as a device. It is something that ‘interposes’ but also ‘prepares’ both for the physical and metaphysical experience in which the myth and the dream can unfold all their evocative power. With the caution of renouncing precise notions of time and space, the terms ‘archaic’ and ‘contemporary’ can be joined and revealed in architectural forms. The book’s aim is to discuss this -and, in particular, aspects related to the Mediterranean civilization- with respect to the Nuragic sanctuary of the ‘giant-heroes’ of Mont’e Prama in Sardinia.
