About

An alternative vocabulary to depict architecture narratives

A curatorial project about architecture and spatial design, aiming to define an alternative glossary to characterize and describe the built environment. It establishes a bridge between the apparent objectivity of the built environment and the richness of its fictional dimensions. Five narrative genres (Fallacy, Erratum, Foretelling, Synecdoche, Irony) led to five collaborative interdisciplinary projects. The project is presented in the form of a publication.
