The purpose of this study is to apply "…a new theory of spacesyntax developed by architects..." to the analysis of "…Zuni settlements occupiedbetween the Spanish Entrado of 1540 and the 1980s" (p. xiii). The goal of this researchis a better understanding of the change in Zuni society, as seen through change in Zuniarchitecture. The results are mixed. Ferguson concludes that space syntax is a usefulway to analyze space, but that its theoretical base needs further development (p.152)
