Abstract
This chapter reviews how architecture could still have consequences at both the cultural and individual levels, helping generate the linkage between spatial organization and social behavior. The chapter examines social organization in ancient settlements, as evidenced by archaeological remains. It also looks at the ancient Roman-era Egyptian town of Karanis and uses space syntax analysis to quantify and compare complex systems of access. In addition to the public street system, access throughout the town was supplemented and often improved by local access routes across private domestic property. The chapter describes the ancient inhabitants of Karanis, who were invested in maintaining complex networks of social interaction through permitting access to their property, transcending legal conceptions of privacy and property.
