The Stories We Build: Narrative as a Design Tool

This workshop invited participants to explore the power of narrative as an essential tool for adaptive architecture in historic environments. By embracing the stories and memories tied to a place, we shape design, preservation, and community engagement meaningfully. Historic narratives deepen our understanding of the values inherent in built heritage, fostering cultural continuity and layered storytelling. This workshop encouraged a design philosophy grounded in community perspectives. Ultimately, adaptive architecture harmonizes heritage with innovation, ensuring that buildings evolve while honoring their stories within the urban landscape.
