Confabulations : Storytelling in Architecture

<p>Confabulation is a drawing together through storytelling. Fundamental to our perception</p><p>memory and thought is the way we join fractured experiences to construct a</p><p>narrative. <i>Confabulations: Storytelling in Architecture </i>weaves together poetic ideas</p><p>objects and events and returns you to everyday experiences of life through juxtapositions</p><p>with dreams fantasies and hypotheticals. It follows the intellectual and creative</p><p>framework of architectural <i>cosmopoesis </i>developed and practiced by the distinguished</p><p>thinker architect and professor Dr. Marco Frascari who thought deeply about the</p><p>role of storytelling in architecture.</p><p>Bringing together a collection of 24 essays from a diverse and respected group of</p><p>scholars this book presents the convergence of architecture and storytelling across a</p><p>broad temporal geographic and cultural range. Beginning with an introduction framing</p><p>the topic the book is organized along a continuous thread structured around four</p><p>key areas: architecture of stories stories of architecture stories of theory and practice</p><p>of stories. Beautifully illustrated throughout and including a 64-page full colour section</p><p>Confabulations is an insightful investigation into architectural narratives.</p>
