Narratives

The Narratives Unit explores how stories connected to objects and spaces can make designs more engaging and meaningful. By using stories as a guide, students learn to create designs that go beyond basic functionality, turning spaces and objects into experiences that inspire and connect with people. Whether these stories come from history, personal reflection or future visions, they add depth and significance to design projects. Throughout this unit, students investigate these stories and use them creatively, developing designs that leave a lasting impression and enrich the built environment.
