Minoan architecture: the palaces

Central court, usually north-south
West court
Magazines
Residential Quarters (but Dickinson disagrees)
Banquet Hall, argued to be an isolated hall at the north & the second storey
Public Apartments
Cult Rooms with pillar crypts
guest room suites

Minoans loved variety over regularity
columns are of very different shapes and designs; contrast Greeks & Romans multiplying one kind of column down the building
