Online resources: Summary: This is a book on interpreting narrative architecture in contemporary literature. One of its statements is that the encounter of literature with the built environment is fundamental to the spatial results in terms of a set of material and symbolic forms. To address this more precisely, it is necessary to investigate several broader questions about the relationship between literature and architecture. The introduction raises the general question of how architecture and literature produce meanings and how are they intersected. This question is primarily addressed historically by studying the Indian literature of the 19th century. Then attention shifts to the crisis of unclear spatial meaning inbuilt because of the absence of storytelling in the built. This crisis manifests itself in several ways: in the aesthetics of ruin and fragmentation, in the development of alternative forms and materials. Architecture is a social art, and literature is verbal. If we adopt a layered narrative model, our buildings will not only tell our story more clearly but will also last longer with ever-changing trends
