标有米诺斯大厅的三层房间可能是青铜时代克里特岛(公元前1700/1675-1470/1460)新奥帕拉蒂时期最具象征意义的建筑特征。尽管这种空间布局因其精心的布局、优良的材料和创新的特性而脱颖而出，但它的功能仍然有些神秘。事实上，它的一些非常特点，如灵活性和布局复杂性，显著阻碍了对米诺斯大厅在青铜时代晚期克里特岛所起作用的深入评估。我在这里认为，由于缺乏对这些三方安排的空间结构的详尽和系统的分析，阻碍了我们对它们的理解，它们的建筑发展应该得到更多的关注。我提出了一种方法来分析米诺斯大厅的空间句法，它们在历时视角下的演变，以及它们在特定建筑中的多样性。这项研究远不是给米诺斯大厅一个明确的功能定义的又一次尝试，相反，它提供了一种考虑米诺斯建筑的新方法。
The tripartite room labeled a Minoan hall is probably the most emblematic architectural feature of the Neopalatial period in Bronze Age Crete (1700/1675–1470/1460 B.C.E.). Although this spatial arrangement stands out as an exceptional accomplishment because of its elaborate layout, fine materials, and innovative properties, its function is still somewhat enigmatic. In fact, some of its very characteristics, such as flexibility and layout complexity, significantly hinder an in-depth evaluation of the role that Minoan halls played in Late Bronze Age Crete. I argue here that the lack of an exhaustive and systematic analysis of the spatial structure of these tripartite arrangements has hampered our understanding of them and that their architectural development should receive more attention. I present an approach for analyzing the spatial syntax of Minoan halls, their evolution in a diachronic perspective, and their diversity in specific buildings. Far from being yet another attempt to give a clear-cut functional definition of Minoan halls, this research offers instead a new way of considering Minoan architecture.
