Building Stories
While storytelling is about the construction of a story by setting up a timeline of events, design is based on the construction of a physical narration by organising spatial relationships. This paper builds up an analogy between storytelling and spatial design processes. It ponders on the effects of the available means and technologies on these undertakings. We look back to the emergence of media that have significantly influenced the design thinking of their time and we trace three categories of design tools that narrate different types of stories. Representational tools express visually an image first conceived in the architect’s mind, conveying stories of desirable lifestyles. Especially throughout the last decades the process of creating that vision has been influenced by the emergence of digital design tools that are able to algorithmically generate architectural forms. Through their use, the narration element becomes strongly incorporated into the design process perhaps at the expense of the final result, becoming inaccessible to those who do not have the access to the code or the ability to understand it. Finally, the most recent development is found in what we define as “animating” tools. The use of new media to create immersive and multilayered spatial experiences and interactive stories, that stems neither from an architect’s vision, nor from a computer’s algorithmic process, but from the layering of information and experiences by a multitude of inputs.
