ARCHETYPAL SPACES Storytelling in Architecture
This thesis is an exploration of narrative drive in residential architecture. It draws from a set of so-called Archetypal Spaces, a term signifying dramatic spatial conditions which connect a user to primal experiences such as enclosure, and overlook. Using these spaces as a brief, the project presents a series of five houses to be viewed as a public exhibition. The goal of such a presentation is to capture the imagination of visitors and inspire a desire for architecture which activates the subconscious mind and creates a language with which a designer and client can communicate to generate more specialized places.
