<br/><br/> The story form is a cultural universal; everyone everywhere<br/>enjoys stories. The story is not just casual entertainment; it<br/>reflects a basic and powerful form in which we make sense<br/>of the world and experience (Egan, 1988, p. 21). The bachelor<br/>of architecture curriculum in India subscribes to a fairly non-<br/>hierarchical system and proposes a non-prescriptive studio<br/>format, allowing for peer and self-reflective learning. While<br/>the Architectural Design Studio lies at the core of the B.<br/>Arch. program, attempts have been made to decentralise the<br/>prescribed curriculum by transplanting teaching methods from<br/>one discursive context to another. Design projects undertaken<br/>within the architecture course are concieved and structured as<br/>stories, further rooting the practice of storytelling within design<br/>education.
