About
About
in narrative is an exploratory platform created to encourage cross disciplinary discourse within architecture. We aim to broaden the outreach of architecture through other disciplines. in narrative aims to create a movement of architectural observation, fostering a greater understanding of the urban fabric of our cities. In an industry that is hugely self-referential the project aims to break the barriers between architects and the public by shedding light on the importance of experiencing spaces and engaging the public through exhibitions, workshops and research. Most importantly in narrative thrives on humanizing structures through story telling.
