Examining the notions of conceptual, perceptual and social space, Architecture and Narrative explores the ways in which these three dimensions interact in the design and life of buildings. The act of perceiving is linked with the sequential unfolding of information as our bodies pass through space. Architects employ conceptual-formal patterns independently from a viewer's experience, but also organize space from the viewpoint of an observer. Narrative enters architecture through the ways in which space is structured to achieve specifi c effects on our perception. Arrangement of spaces, social relationships and cultural content is fundamental to how buildings are shaped, used and perceived. Looking at how meaning is constructed in buildings and how it is communicated to the viewer, this intriguing study will be of interest to anyone concerned with archi tecture and culture from architects to museum specialists and exhibition designers.
