1. Timeless Narrative: The Unfolding Journey of Real Moments Brittany Carey

2. Quotes on Narrative • “Architecture as narrative concentrates on experience of space” and “…buildings are experienced gradually through movement.” Sophia Psarra, Architecture and Narrative: The Formation of Space and CulturalMeaning. • In Carlo Scarpa: An Architectural Guide Sergio Los writes about Scarpa’s “compositional system”, the way in which the story, or “typological content”, is expressed and constructed. Sergio Los, Carlo Scarpa: An Architectural Guide • “narrative in architecture is rarely a prescribed sequence of meanings, but instead an anti-sequential ‘framework’ of associative meanings held in wait to ‘drench’ the unsuspecting visitor.” Nigel Coates, Narrative Architecture

3. Quotes on Reality • “For architecture, emptiness implies that a building should not be slave to its program, twisting and turning to accommodate our every movement and wish – squirming to please, as it were – but rather should be formed according to innate principles of order, structure, shelter, the evolution of architecture itself – and accident.” Michael Benedikt, For an Architecture of Reality • “…features of old and/or vernacular buildings, otherwise so straightforwardly organized, are often precisely those that attract us to inhabit them. Offering opportunity rather than giving direction, they are indifferent to our designs on them.” Michael Benedikt, For an Architecture of Reality
