Making Architecture......__ We want explore the 'Making’ of Architecture through Storytelling. Together with our clients we will explore this concept and create unique and crafted architecture with narrative. Architecture and Storytelling......__ Architecture contains narrative. It explores the story of
the users, talks of its place in time, engages with the agendas of the day, and
is of its location. It is this narrative that separates architecture from
ubiquitous building and faceless developments. __ The architect and clients are the co-authors of this story
and clear communication and understanding will lead to clear narrative. In order for a project to contain this
narrative the building, interior and landscape should be considered as one.
They are the canvas for the story. __ Insights around the users will drive clear design principals
for the functions of the building. An understanding of the location both
topographic and environmental and the opportunities that these offer will give
the building appropriateness. __ A broader appreciation of the context of the time will lead
to architecture that is reflective of its time. Sustainable design and an
efficiency of material are the concerns of today. Localism and social
responsibility are likely to be the concerns of a responsible tomorrow. __ By implication every piece of architecture will have a
unique narrative. By collaborating to explore this narrative with client,
consultant and contractor it is possible to elevate projects beyond building to
architecture.
