Narrative and the space of digital architecture: implementing interdisciplinary storytelling in the design of interactive digital space

Abstract

This abstract and the resulting paper explore the ideas of narrative and context as generative tools in the digital design process. This is the initial premise of an interdisciplinary graduate seminar taught at the University of Florida between the Schools of Architecture, Fine Arts, and Computer Science and Engineering. The resulting design narratives will be discussed and evaluated. The different types of narrative – conceptual, plot based, etc. – will be examined and new types of interactivity will be proposed and tested.
