About Discussions Projects26 Journals36 Publications1

Architectural storytelling treats buildings as carriers of narrative, using spatial sequence, materiality, light and program to convey meaning beyond function. Designers working in this area ask how a building can express a past, a sensory experience or a cultural context to those who move through it.

Member work under this topic spans adaptive reuse, hospitality interiors, speculative agricultural typologies and conceptual projects, including a Berlin apartment conversion, a Camden bar inspired by historic stables and a sensory gastronomic interior in São Luiz. Together these examples show how narrative can be built into both existing fabric and new proposals.

We interpreted Aleppo through three alternative dimensions; culminating into 'The Memory Lane. It all started at 'Grand Serail of Aleppo'.Which is proposed to provide the initial shelter for all of the people who were in dire need after coming back. As people gradually shifted to their homes, they left traces to form a nostalgic public plaza.

The Dream of al-Ash?-r

Memorial, a voice of memory and dreams. Dreams that create a temporary structure that will be built up over time along with the opportunities and needs of local people, simultaneously with the reconstruction of the city. In time, the emptiness that results from the destruction will fill the void into a mass full of life.

Coaliving: A new post-mining agricultural typology

The project aims to set an affordable agricultural model, both in its materialization, and its programmatic outline. Rather than being based on farming, it interrogates how the processing of raw produce on a small scale can be financially self-sustaining, as poverty is ever-increasing with small farming communities.

Spirit Ladder

As vernacular architecture is shaped by climatic conditions, the resulting forms often assume a mythical role. Exploring structures from houses to simple altars, the concept of a spirit ladder has been derived. Can the rules established for the movement of supernatural beings also be applied in a modern facility, and what role can they play?
