Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Humans cannot survive without food, water and clothing.
But an essential that seems to have missed this survival kit
is ‘stories.’ Storytelling - a priceless souvenir, has been an
inherent part of our civilization since the dawn of time.
Our perception of ourselves and the world around us is
structured around stories and this influence of narratives
extends into architecture as well. Be it a means of creating
empathetic links between the architectural subject and
audiences, or a medium which plugs temporal gaps, bridges
the geographical differences and merges the cultural layers
within the built environment or embracing the micro-
narratives of multiple stories, it is the narrative that holds
multiple bits of a building together. Architecture, both as a
process as well as a product is a brilliant storyteller.
