Whether one can be said to precede the other is a point of minor contention, but the myth of the first building, the archetypal primitive hut, is deliberately composed without the presence of an architect and so it is the first that is considered here. Joseph Rykwert (1981) argues that throughout history architects have returned to the idea of the first house, the primitive hut of the ancients, whenever they have sought to make sense of the purpose of architecture. According to Rykwert, an interest in the primitive hut has been a constant throughout history: ‘[it] seems to have been displayed by practically all peoples at all times, and the meaning given to this elaborate figure does not appear to have shifted much from place to place, from time to time’ (Rykwert 1981: 183).

For example, in Southern Anatolia in Turkey the Chalcolithic (Copper Age) people of C ¸ atalho¨yu¨k constructed a dense cellular architecture, wherein a network of broadly orthogonal masonry walls was roofed with timber shingles. At around the same time, wattle and daub structures with thatched roofs over timber beams began appearing across both Eastern and Western Europe. In Germany, England and Ireland more elaborate timber structures, including long houses, tombs and cisterns were also being constructed (Cruickshank 1996).
