The Wall as protagonist - Devices of an architectural narrative

Narratives are there in everyone's lives. They are made up of stories that interest us, stories that we want to share with others. However, narrative is not only limited to the written or spoken word. It is made up of a complex system of units and devices which can be explored in many different genres and media. One such medium is Architecture. This thesis is an investigation in decoding the elements that are essential for a narrative. Comparing and analyzing the concept using other medium especially the cinematic medium as a point of reference to understand how it can be applied to architecture. Testing out these discoveries to create a visual arts school in Lugano.
