Outline of Final Research Achievements

The subject of this research is Hellenistic architecture. The initially planned survey of Dionysus Temple at Teos was unable to continue the investigation because of the circumstances of the partner country, and turned to the investigation and research on the royal palace at Pella. The palace at Pella, which is well-known as the birth place of Alexander the Great, is one of the most important ruins of this building type. As a result of three years of our investigation, it is clarified that the palace building was designed as peristyle form, which surrounds a rectangular courtyard from all four sides with stoa (porticos), gathering with a banquet hall (andron) and small cult rooms (semi-circular small rooms). In addition, it is also confirmed that it is one of the early example of Hellenistic palace in which the Greek traditional order was applied to the complicated residential building.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

アレキサンドロス大王の東方遠征以後、ギリシア世界は広く国際化し、オーダーに集約されるギリシア建築は多様なビルディング・タイプに取り込まれた。これまで衰退の建築として等閑視されていたヘレニズム建築は、創造的な変革期の建築として近年注目されている。本研究の成果は世界の学術動向と連携しつつ、ヘレニズム建築をただ概念的に操るのではなく、現場調査で入手した一次資料から実証的に分析した点に学術的意義がある。
